Metric tap needed

Feb 21, 2004 8 Replies

Or someone that can sharpen/grind one. I need a 10 X 1.5 to tap an interference fit hole for a stud in an aluminum casting. The hardware store D8 size things are all that I can find.



Can anyone give me a phone number or web site where I might be able to find what I need?

Already tried. The smallest they list is D3. Based on my rather crude measurments, and a sample of the studs, I need something like a

-D4 (DU4). Different studs is not a viable option..........nor is Locktight.

Snip..

I would first try metric and multistandard corp, in elmsford NY.

It might not be in their catalog (which I don't have here at home, sorry) but I would call them and ask about it. They probably have a source to special order from.

Call them. They're very good at locating specials. McMaster will also provide stuff that's not in their catalog if you ask.

Widell. Should be around $80 for whatever you want. They will probably want to bill you through a cutting tool distributor. 2-3 day lead time.

Thanks for the lead. Looks productive. $80 seem a bit steep, but if that is what it takes to get the job done............................

It's listed in my (old) catalog.
