I got a belt driven lathe drill from Ebay.It has a 1/2" shaft.The problem is I'm reading the threads as 1/2-24 tpi.I can't find this die or tap anywhere.The shaft is definetly 1/2 inch.
Maybe I read it wrong

I have a 1/2-24 NS tap sitting right on front of me on my desk. It is marked VERMONT 1/2 NS 24 HSS M2I. it seems to be a plug tap. I can sell it to you for 40% of mcmaster price.
iMcMaster do carry taps of that size. Part # 2595A261 for a bottoming tap. Part # 2600A135 for the die.
McMaster do carry taps and dies of that size.

What size tap do YOU have, Sameer?
And, is it RH or LH?
Lim time!
The "tap" of a fellow named Fred Was adorned with a spiralized head. When at last he laid eyes, On a bum the right size, He was foiled by a left-handed thread!

PLEASE don't do that when I'm sipping Jack. Oh, man, it burns.

Could be worse; could have been a nice single-malt. Stings just as much but the pain of wasting it is so much more.
