I'll are jump in if there is still room.

M10 set please with a bottom tap
M10 taper tap also please.

This way I'll have both taps. I looked at my other taps that I got on group buys here and like Justin has said they are tapered. Those were all triple start so not sure if that matters or not.

OK, I'll put my name down for a M10 set ( plug tap )
and a M12 set ( plug tap )
If I understand it correctly, the plug tap has a small taper, we used to call this an intermediate tap.

Getting closer to starting the timer. Just waiting on:

Signguy
bsea
Mintman

I'll send them PMs in about two days just in case they are busy.

Two questions: are the dies round or hex?
Also, are these made for Ferrous metals?

Finding that info out for you. Should hear back today.

I'll are jump in if there is still room.

Always room.

I believe the plug is also called a second and an intermediate. I'm sure there are other names, especially to our overseas friends.

M10 second tap
M10 die
M12 bottoming tap
M12 second tap
M12 die

Okay, updated the spread sheet to have the counts in it. Thanks Duncan. I always forget to add the A to COUNT.

I guess we're going to start seeing boatloads of custom pens. :)

Seriously though, it's cool that so many people are interested in taking pen making to this realm.

Last update of today. Still waiting on:

bsea
signguy

of the original.

I am interested in Buying a set of Both the 10m, and the 12m.

Thanks

What style tap?

Also waiting on mav (a member from Greece) to chime in with tap style and to post in this thread that he does want them.

I've updated the excel sheet based off a few corrections from PMs and with the new buyers.

Sorry, didn't realize you were waiting on me.

Even after reading back over the entire thread I still have to confess to being somewhat confused about what to get, so I think I will pass for now, and wait until I have a clearer picture of what I want/need.

Thanks!

They are round adjustable and the material is HSS 60-62 Rockwell. I know the HSS but not the numbers and rockwell. I can look it up but HSS is enough for me.

I think the question I was trying to ask was "what type of metal can these be used on, i.e., stainless, aluminum, brass, copper, titanium, etc., if any". I'm only wondering since my primary use will be for stainless, and titanium. Maybe the steel that these are made from is only good for the softer metals.

I also didn't know you were waiting on me. What do I have to do to confirm? The spreadsheet shows me for both sets, but I just want the 10MM set. Also, I think I want a plug tap, not the taper tap.

Make mine a double

Twinturbine stays with double set of 10 and 12 taper tap. I really believe I will need taper for hard burls/stabilized and metals. Most tapers are not too long for me, just cannot use last 1/8 end plus the taper acts as a slow brake/ hold. I'm not much long on pens but have had a metal lathe all my life, only had a shotgun before.

What type of tap?

Just so I can plan appropriately....

Is there a planned close date for this group buy? Or did I miss it?

Now that the final two have chimed in the countdown starts. Tuesday, 19 August at 2000 I will close the buy to new parties and begin the final tallies.

They are round adjustable and the material is HSS 60-62 Rockwell. I know the HSS but not the numbers and rockwell. I can look it up but HSS is enough for me.

I think the question I was trying to ask was "what type of metal can these be used on, i.e., stainless, aluminum, brass, copper, titanium, etc., if any". I'm only wondering since my primary use will be for stainless, and titanium. Maybe the steel that these are made from is only good for the softer metals.

It all depends on the steel My understanding is if the steel is softer than these you can make it work but you will wear it out faster than on softer stuff like brass and copper. Metals and their hardness are not my expertise but I do understand the hardness part, at least now I do.

I also didn't know you were waiting on me. What do I have to do to confirm? The spreadsheet shows me for both sets, but I just want the 10MM set. Also, I think I want a plug tap, not the taper tap.

No worries. You just confirmed. I have you down for a M10 Plug and Die.

I would like to go for the M12 double full set (tap &die).

Thanks.

Confirmed as taper. I am still learning metals and what not and can only use my metal lathe to make things round...for now.



Okay all, the final two have confirmed. Signguy is out but if you want to change your mind you have until this buy is closed. Which is:

Tuesday, 19 August at 2000....or 8:00PM Eastern.

If not to late, can you change my order to just a "Plug" tap and die for each the M10 & M12 sets, cancelling the bottom taps.

Please confirm type of tap when you have the time.

Not too late. Adjusted and removed the bottom tap.

I'd like in on this please.
M10 set(plug tap-die)
M12 set(plug tap-die)

Added.

Since we have had so much interest I have asked what the price break would be beyond 24. Once I get their answer I will post it. It could be like the dies and stop at a certain level or it could keep going.

Got the next price quote. Last break out is at 72.

M10s
48 pc 26.55ea
72pc 24.20ea

M12s
48 pc 33.55ea
72pc 31.70ea

So we get a great price break now if we stay above 48 and a bit more on the 72.

Ty, if you don't mind the hassle of international shipping, please can you add me to the list?

I'd like both sizes, dies and taper taps.

Of course, shipping to UK would be extra. Just let me know.:wink:

Here's the updated spread sheet. I fixed the COUNTA function so that it doesn't include the one who doesn't want in anymore (no big deal just had to move the name to the bottom). As is looks like we qualify for the second to last price break of 48 and would need about 20 more of each for the next one, which is also no big deal because it's only $2 or so. And we already qualify for the biggest die break of 12.

Just a reminder Tuesday the 19th at 8:00PM Eastern the buy closes.

Ty, I requested Taper taps but you have me down for Plug taps:wink:


Thanks for doing this by the way:biggrin:



This has to be the most popular group buy to date for tooling....I reckon you should give me a commission for suggesting 2 starts in the beginning!!:rolleyes::biggrin:
(kidding of course!!:tongue:)

BTW, are these Tapco tools?

Fixed! I think I get on auto pilot now that most want plug. You are now down for Taper.

You are most welcome. All of you.

It does seem to be popular. You and I can split the commission! Now let me just find my calculator that can divide by zero.

These are Tapco.
