Title: Supplier for quality BA & ME Taps & Dies
Post by: Mege66 on November 11, 2024, 02:52:32 pm

Dear all

I am looking for a supplier of high (indstrial) quality taps and dies. Both BA and ME threads.
All the tools I have bought so far are unfortunately of inadequate to rather poor quality and I don't want to make any more test purchases.

Does anyone know of a model engineering supply company that supplies high-quality threading tools for brass, bronze and free-cutting stainless steel?

Thanks, Markus

Plus one for Tracy but do it by post -  - there is a mental wave generator invisibly emitting BUY ME signals when you visit.  O0
