Hope everyone had a great Christmas. I am getting ready to purchase some tap/die sets to begin my bespoke pen journey and have a couple of quick questions. Do you normally only use the triple start taps/dies for the caps, or do you use them for all threads on the pen? My plan is to make mostly rollerballs, with some occasional fountains mixed in, so what would be the best combination of taps/dies to purchase, being that I can only afford to get 2 triple starts? I was kind of leaning towards m9 or m10 for the front sections and m12 or m13 for the caps. I know this limits me to one size for the pens, but if I get good then maybe I will get additional sizes for sections and caps to give me more flexibility. Right now I just want to make one size that is comfortable for both men and women.
Also, does anyone know if Jick (Cheng) Wu is still selling taps and dies, I haven't seen him on here since 2022?
Thanks in advance,
