Tap n die set recommendations

<< < (2/7) > >>

mickwinf:
I have a set from Aldi, works well for occasional use. One thing to watch for is the 10mm size as most sets have a 1.5 thread pitch and hondas use a 1.25 fine pitch. As Laverda Dave said, tracy tools very good for this type of thing

K2-K6:
General recommendation to go with the tools mentioned above

Still the finest thread cutting lubricant known to man  ;D ;D ;D

Makes the best thread finish,  refined cut and least "oversize" final threads by reducing tool drag during use. Well worthwhile.

I've had this on watch on ebay for some time - keep bottling out as would only use occasionally

Bryanj:
When we get back to "normal" a good idea is to rumage at autojumbles, steam fairs etc so you get a day out and buy quality stuff Presto is a good name
