I've started work on my first kit less pen and one of the first problems I had to solve was how to make the correct threads.
I'm happy to say that I managed to make a serviceable tap and the threaded part is coming along very well. I made a youtube video describing the process I followed for making the tap. I would be very interested in any feedback as I am not an expert by any means. It did work quite well though so I am very happy with the result. Here is the link for my video: https://youtu.be/6OP2bZDLMbs And here is a photo: ![]() |

I watched your video earlier this afternoon and it seemed very straight forward. The only issue that I found for me is that I do not have a milling machine to go with my new metal lathe. Next you will have to show us how to make a triple start die to go with the tap.

If you don't have a mill there is another way to make the tap. See: Making your own specialty taps. Bock 5 mm
