A friend of mine has challenged me to make him an X-acto knife holder, which I imagine would be made much like a nib holder. Two questions:
I measured the threads on the end of the X-acto knife that would be screwed into the holder and it is 4.70 MM diameter, so how would that translate into a tap for the holder? I have no idea, but I would love to explore HOW to do this...
If I wanted to buy a 'grabber' like a bottle stopper or a nib holder, is there a set of variable sizes I could buy to help turn it, or would I be better off using my barracuda chuck and wrap the end in tap to protect it>?
Thanks!
