Taps

[TOM REED]

Ed one thing when buying taps you get what you pay for, good taps are fairly expensive. I have an old set that was given to me, they are Butterfield and are in a woodeb case, smallest is 1/4 inch both fine and coarse. They are at least 60 yrs old and do anything I want to do. I would hate to have to pay for them now. I would like to get thread forming taps for the small sizes and probably will when I need them. I bought a large quantity of resharpened taps on the internet, most are made in US, spiral flute etc, they were cheap, less than 20 cents each, they cut very well. I took a chance on them and think I made out well.
