Gee Rob - you put a lot of time and effort into that lathe just to scrap it.
Well during my recent hiatus from the forum I didn't get a lot of time to really do anything but last weekend I did manage to get some more of my tools organised. I tipped all my fractional taps out of the old ammo case they weredumped placed into and organised them by size and form.
I then drilled some 30mm holes into some MDF, which I then screwed into a small filing cabinet draw. The 30mm size is perfect for the centrifuge vials that I now store them in.
Blue tops are UN, Red are BSF and the Yellow are a mix of BSW, BSPF (or BSPP depending on which one you prefer to use), BSPT and NPT. The 7/8-9 UNC tap is just a little too long to get the cap to screw on and the 1/2" UNF Spiral bottoming tap is simply too long to stand up in the drawer, which is why it is laying down.
The three spare holes are there in case I get any additional size/form taps. I just hope I don't need to buy four
