Bad form to answer my own posting, I know, but I've found the following
website:
http://www.chronos.ltd.uk/acatalog/Chronos_Catalogue_Taps___Dies_Sets_14
6.html
which appears to offer a great deal:
METRIC/UNF/BSP TAP & DIE SET - 7 metric dies 3 4 5 6 8 10 &12 mm coarse
5 UNF dies 1/4 5/16 3/8 7/16 1/2" - 2 BSP dies 1/8 & 1/4
14 taper taps one for each above die Tap wrenches & holders etc
included. All dies are split.
Price: GBP29.74 + VAT
- but the taps are only tapers. Wouldn't I need plugs to recut
threads?
