Well, it's been about 2 years since the last group buy and there seems to be some interest for another.
We'll likely go with the same specs used in the last two buys:
SPECIFICATIONS:
- M12.0 x 0.8P x 2.4L triple-start tap and die
- threading the same as the El Grande kit
- material of tools: M2 (HSS) steel
- ground thread and shank
- thread tolerances assumed: 6H
- Plug-style tap
- straight flute
- dies are circular, split, adjustable with 1" OD
Please post here if you are interested in purchasing. The price will probably be in the neighborhood of $200 for a tap and die set if we get enough interest.
Once enough interest is confirmed I will contact the tap manufacturer for a quote and coordinate the buy with Monty.
Thanks!

EDIT: actually, looking through past threads, it seems Tapco may be a cheaper option than e-taps (the source of the original group buy), and the set may actually be in the neighborhood of $100. I'll report back when we get a quote from Tapco.
