Well, first cause the guy that needs the tap couldn't afford the prices I found on Amazon. I didn't see the $1.62 price, I saw $15 and up...
Second, I've already made and tested the tap. And I didn't have to spend any money other than the electric to run the lathe, already had some 1/4" drill rod...
Why buy when we can make it? Took me all of 2 hours to make, including heat treat! Noe I know I can make just about any tapI need!

The difficult takes me a while, the impossible takes a little longer.
