The last of today's shop cleaning.
I bought a triple start setup a few years ago from a IAP group buy. I used it successfully 3 times, but it wasn't really my thing. It's been sitting here unused ever since Everything is in perfect shape
The important pieces are e-taps:
Cap:
etaps M12x2 Bottoming tap
corresponding etaps triple start die (My eyes are having trouble reading the etching... I think it says 11.84 x .8 - but these 2 go together.
(use 21/64 drill for this)
The nib set
etaps M10x1 plug tap
M10 die (not etaps - labeled Japan)
(use 7/16 drill for this)
The nib set will cut threads to accept an El Grande nib. It's a tight fit that works better if you chase the threads with the M10 die. (That's very easy). Of course you could make your own section with these if you want.
I'll include 3 El Grande nibs and sections.
The only other thing you'd need is a chuck to hold the tap and a die holder. Little Machine Shop has a good one.
These cost me $190. I'm asking $90 shipped.
Thanks for looking!
