Dave I. Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 If you cant find one locally you can get one from ENCO. They are in cali so shipping would probably be fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboBanshee420 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 unless your fastenal is much better than mine, you really can't beat this price.... reverse taps these guys sell only high quality machine grade products. The tap I bought is still sharp after making 20 tierods. the work was done on a hand lathe with a hand tap. :biggrin: hope this helps btw... click to door in 2 days. they are in FL.... I'm in NY....express shipping=option C $5.95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 What is a hand lathe? Do you turn the part with one hand and manipulate the carriage with another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a hand lathe is what you use to make skin flutes. :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
