Tap wanted

[Ed_Dinning]

Hi gents, has anyone got a 1 1/8 * 12TPI UNF tap I could possibly borrow for a small job I need to do.
All costs covered.

Many thanks,  Ed

That's a bit big Ed, even for me.
Tracy Tools will sell you one but they 'aint cheap - http://www.tracytools.com/taps-and-dies/...uct_id=932

Hi Ed
I have a few large taps so I'll have a look tomorrow and let you know.
If I have, I'll send it up to you.

[Ed_Dinning]

Hi Brian, many thanks for that; It's for a small lathe faceplate, probably of US origin. As it will be finished on its own lathe it will be quicker to tap it on my lathe rather than screwcut it.

You doing a chuck backplate for a Myford?

[Ed_Dinning]

Hi Ed, no the Myford is larger than that and even the ML2/3 is a Whit thread.
This is a smaller lathe of uncertain origin, possibly US.
Backplate and possibly a faceplate as well, I have some 3" dia steel blanks.

According to Tony Griffiths the ML7 is/was 1 1/8" x 12 TPI, although it is Whitworth as far as I know.
