Looking for some help

[Mike8623]

Im looking for someone that has a lathe that can cut 30 tpi. Mine wont.

I am making a weird tap. I can turn to diameter and send to you for threading or if you wish i will pay for you to turn a piece of oil hardening round steel to diameter and then thread to 30 tpi.

Ive tried the the section where folks make things for you, but only got recommendations on regearing my lathe.

I am looking to make a tap.

I will pay

What is the diameter and length you need. I have O1 rod, I can cut a 30 TPI thread on my lathe you would need to heat treat/temper.

I need .645 diameter. I can cut flutes and heat treat when i get it. I need it to be roughly 4.5 overall inches long with about 2 inches of threads. I'll turn shank down when i get it or anything you wish to do is fine with me. I'll post a pic of a tap like i would like to end up with

PM me with a drawing the specific details and I can see what I can do for you. I would probably cut two of them, one +0.005" deeper unless you have a female thread that I can use for sizing the tap thread.

I can mail the male and female threads i need

I would just need the female. I have O1 steel rod, but if you want to turn some tap blanks down to the dimensions you want, I can thread them for you and size to the female thread. No charge for the threading, just pay for the shipping. Not sure if you want to cut the flutes before or after threading, but I can also cut the threads either way.

Maybe send both and specifics in a drawing so I can make sure the sizing is what you want.

Mark, i made a couple of blanks today. I'll send them to you along with the female part. You can just cut threads on them or if you think they are too primitive you can make a couple. You will not hurt my feelings.

I would like .645x30 tpi.

Mark, are you there?
