I could most likely search for this, But I have tried searching for Tap and die and keep coming up with nothing. I get the message that either both words are to common or to short to be included in the search.
Basically I am looking for a list of the various taps and dies that are in use out there and what pens they are used for if you can list that as well.
I know that the Extra fancy custom and expensive triple start tap and dies is for caps where easy starting and quick tightening of the cap is a big plus. I also realize that standard (or at least close to it) single thread taps and dies are used for things like nibs and feeds.
Although I am doing a group buy, I sort of ended up with it because of my group buy experience not my parts threading talent.
So if you all can list just what taps and dies you have in your arsenal it would help me get a list together of what would be a fairly complete list of tools needed to cover the variety of kits out there.
I have read some posts that where something like. I use a 3/8"-24 tap but an 8.3mm would be better. give the tap you use and which one would be a better solution.
Thanks
