Hello,
I'm new to the forum, but not new to turning / machining.
I actually got my start with manufacturing pool cues, and now that I no longer have access to a large shop, I've set up a smaller version at home to make pens.
I was fairly intent on making pens from scratch, and set out to design a pen that uses Mont Blanc Rollerball or Fineliner refills. Since I can't seem to find the right tap set (plug & bottoming types), I'll be placing an order for 50-100 taps with the right thread pitch.
I've had an ISO 9000 rated Q.C. department at work scan the exact thread on the refills, so I know that the taps I'm ordering will work perfectly.
Basically just wondering if any of you had managed to find these taps elsewhere, or if I place a large order if anyone wants a set for themselves.
Depending on how many I order, the set of plug + bottoming will run between $50 - $80.
***Please chime in and let me know if any of you are interested in purchasing a tap set. That way I can determine how many to have made.
