Taps and dies... source/type?
Guys...
I've looked about locally, and haven't had much luck in finding a set of small-size metric taps and dies, so as usual, its to eBay I head...
Can anyone recommend a decent supplier? I'm looking for M2, 2.5, 3, 4 & 5, all the standard Tamiya sizes. Mebbe even an M1. What are the pitches of the ones used by Tamiya?
I'd also like recommendations on the drill bits needed to make the holes before tapping, and the sizes needed to make a hole clear of the threads (is there a chart somewhere?)
I'm asking as I've got a few minor projects that are assembled out of keystock, and I don't have the facilities/money to get the pieces welded/braised/whatever.
Thanks in advance,
WhiteWolf
