Tap and Die Purchase Research (Taken Over)

[whteglve]

Ok folks, After talking to both RustySplinters and Monty I'm planning on taking over the group buy of taps and dies.

This is a research post to see who all wants to participate in a group purchase for M12x.8x3 and/or M14x.8x3 taps and dies. I'll post more information as I get it.

If you are interested, please leave a comment below.

Are you staying with a triple start on the M14 instead of the double that we had been talking about?

I'd be in for an M14 double start, but would probably pass on the triple.

 

[Cmiles1985]

Is be in for an M14 double start. I don't think I'd want a triple start.

 

[Chasper]

I'm in

 

[Mintman]

I would also be interested in an M14 double set.

 

[edstreet]

Maybe. Under certain conditions.

 

[VotTak]

no M10?

 

[ChrisN]

I'd be interested in a double start 14mm to match my other tap/die sets, but if you're only offering triple start, I'll pass.

 

[Crashmph]

Interested for sure. Depends on the double vs triple.

 

[MartinPens]

Ditto on the 14 double or triple start based on pricing

 

[duncsuss]

I'd most likely go for M14 double-start (not triple)

 

[papaturner]

Interested based on final details and pricing.

 

[longbeard]

Interested also based on the details
Thank you

I'd be interested in 14mm if it's a double start.

 

[whteglve]

This is a continuation of the RustySplinters research thread. I need to get more information from him and to see his quotes and other details.

Double or triple.

 

[edstreet]

Prices have changed, re-quote. Also get better threading this time please.

 

[Wpixley]

I'm interested

 

[Quality Pen]

Put me down as a definite maybe!

 

[whteglve]

I'm planning on getting a new quote for this GP. I'd like to get what RustySplinters has gathered to start with so I can be sure I'm not contacting the same company.

 

[Timbo]

I'm interested.

 

[Ironwood]

If there is a 14mm double start set, I would be interested.

 

[ChrisN]

Uh, why don't you want to contact the same company? Or is that a typo?

The "not" was a typo.

Hi all,
I bought a M14x0.8 -3 leads tap and die set from Mike 3 years ago.
Unfortunately the tap is worn, so I need a new tap
I would gladly join on the new group buy, when possible for the tap only.
please keep me posted !
Best regards, Francis

This is the very reason we add TiN treatment. The cost increase is a few dollars more per item but it will double the life of the tooling.

Does everyone want v shaped threads or square threads?

 

[Carl Fisher]

I prefer V profile

 

[dansills]

I'm in for a set of 14mm double start

 

[Alex D]

I'd be in for a 14mm double start set. I am ambivalent on the profile, either works for me.

Thanks!
Alex

 

[Cmiles1985]

I'll vote V profile.

 

[edstreet]

I bet that most may not be aware of the advantages / disadvantages of V threads or 'square' threads.

Truth of the mater 'square' threads is not square, also 'square' threads is still in the 'V' category.

Sounds sorta like golf club grooves:biggrin:

Hello,

Great timing! I just emailed Mike at SSP looking for a new M14 die (M14x.8x3). He suggested I check in here! If the buy goes through, count me in for a die (die only please, taps are still good).

Thanks...John

Right now it seems like only two people, including yourself, are showing interest in getting that size. I'm sure I could add just a die to the list, but you'd pay out the nose for it.

 

[whteglve]

Just so everyone knows, I'm waiting on a quote for M12x1.5 and M14x1.5 double start taps and dies. Once I get the quote I'll post a new thread in the Group Purchases section with all the details.

 

[Carl Fisher]

1.5?
