2018 Kitless Pen Tap and Die Group Buy

[eharri446]

I have had a lot of interest lately from new people who did not get a chance to participate in the 2017 group buy that we did for the taps and dies to create kitless pens.

So, I am placing this post to see if there is enough interest to warrant trying to put together another group buy.

This year I am adding the items available to be ordered as poll items. Please select all of the items that you would be interested in ordering and as soon as I receive the pricing breakdown from TapCo I will add it to the post.

This poll will end in 21 days and at that time I will post an update as to the cost of each item based on the results of the poll.

If there is not enough interest, then we will try again at a future date.

I am interested. Are we also including taps for the nib housing?

This year I am adding the items available to be ordered as poll items.

Elwyn -- it seems like many people are unable to see the poll. One thing they have in common is they are using the "Penturners.org Mobile App" -- I can see the poll with no problems on my Android phone (using a browser, not a forum app).

Might want to check with Jeff about whether the app is capable of displaying polls?

 

[lhowell]

Interested. Voted. Thanks!

 

[Mgoldsmith23]

Interested looking for basic set for a beginner

 

[HowieM]

I am interested in the M7.5x0.5 plug tap for JOWO 6 nib.

 

[Don Rabchenuk]

Interested and added my selection to the list.

 

[eharri446]

For those of you who cannot see the list, please try to access the thread using a web browser. I will reach out to Jeff and see why the poll is not visible in the APP.

However, the list is attached to the thread and is at the top of the list when you open it.

Sorry for the inconvenience. But this is a new issue for me.

 

[RNelson]

I am interested

 

[weaveand]

If there is enough interest to go through with a group buy, will you be sending out messages to those who participated in the poll, or should we keep an eye on this thread for any updates?

 

[eharri446]

If there is enough interest I will send out notifications to those who have indicated that they are interested.

As soon as I receive the price quote from TapCo, I will post a "where we are" status showing the estimated costs at that time.

[RangeRat]

Definitely interested in the M12 plug tap and die, as well as the Bock #5 plug tap. On the fence about the Bock section tap, but voted for it too.

 

[magpens]

Count me in for the Group Buy, please.

I would like to buy, please:

M6.4x0.6 Bottoming Tap (Bock #5) ***** - WANT BOCK #5 Bottoming Tap

M7.9x0.6 Bottoming Tap (Bock#6) ***** - WANT BOCK #6 Bottoming Tap

M6.5x0.5 Bottoming Tap (Jowo#5) ***** - WANT JOWO #5 Bottoming Tap

M7.5x0.5 Bottoming Tap (Jowo#6) ***** - WANT JOWO #6 Bottoming Tap

 

[magpens]

I am wondering about the diameter of the JOWO #6 Bottoming Tap.

Although the difference is only very small, and it may make no difference in practice,
other sources I have specify it as:

M7.4x0.5 Bottoming Tap (Jowo#6)

 

[Henry]

I'm interested in the bock and jowo number 5 and 6 taps

Thanks

[mballen34]

I am interested.

 

[jonathan_vest]

I am interested in the 14mm triple tap and die, as well as the 13mm bottoming tap.

What does the 8.5 x 1 tap and die fit? i have used both #5 and #6 housings for jowo and bock and have never seen that used in any of those applications? The only thing i can think that it would fit would be the fountain pen revolution housings, and if not does anyone know what the threads are for those? they are the only nibs that i am aware of for us custom pen makers that has a flex NIB.

Sorry for the short story.

 

[jonathan_vest]

Also i would like to know if there is any interest in possibly adding the jowo #8 tap as well which is m9.4 x 0.5?

 

[conandy]

Count me in. Voted for 13x.8 set and a Jowo #6 nib set.

I'd love to see som 9mm or 10mm options for section to body threads.

 

[Pierre---]

I am in for a M13X.8 Triple Start Plug Tap and Die.
