Looking to see if there is enough interest to get another group buy going for the Sharpie sized taps. Would really like to get 12 people, as I think the price drops to about $40 to your door at that point. Have 2 buyers. Need 10 more.

... with BSea, that makes 7 ... we're getting there!

btw, I believe it should be 0.450 x 26 (not x 20 as you typed in the subject line for the thread.) Better get that verified before ordering!

IF you host it they will come. Dont wait, you will even have the guy that comes late to the party after a month looking for one.

going to move forward ...

I have to contact Tapco to get exact details on pricing, then I'll assemble it into a formal group buy & submit it for approval.

I can't say exactly how long that will take (since I don't know how long it will take for Tapco to respond), but I'll post a link to the official sign-up thread as soon as it's ready to fly.

Thanks for your interest ... :)

Would you ask if all the taps need to be the same or can some be bottoming taps? I may add an extra to have a bottoming too.
Thanks.

Sure thing, I'll ask.

I hadn't even thought about the question of "what sort of taps?" since I use plug taps (a.k.a. second taps -- i.e. not taper and not bottoming) for all my work.

If you contact them they usually reply within 24 hours or less. They have been allowing the mixing of bottom and plug taps once you meet the minimums.

On tranlucent materials, haven't been brave enough to do a clear :rolleyes:, I like the threads to end cleanly and not fade out further in the cap. So once I have a couple of full threads, I switch from the plug to the bottoming tap and cut a few more to create the full thread ending.
