What Did You Buy Today?

Also on NPT especially in the case of cast iron/aluminum cases use Teflon tape, do not try to get the seal with "tighter is better" it will crack the case. Just in case someone didn't know.....:)
 
The 1972 NOS tap and die set arrived today.
It’s fantastic!

Don't know what NOS stands for, but that is a set from P&N Australia you can see each tap and die has it stamped on them. P&N has been synonymous for quality in Australia, for about 100 years. You may also come across Sutton branded tools, they are a partner brand and equally high quality, I hope you enjoy them.
 
Yep,
What Weldo said. Don't go in too deep!
No pipe taps Jeff ? There are gages for pipe tap depths which are +/- one thread . What I always do is grind a flat on either a fitting or a tap and use it as a depth gage . I have quite a few pipe tap and die sets and reamers at the house along with a ship load of pipe machine taps . Regular , extended reach , skip tooth etc . You'll see them soon below on a certain site .
