Tap Set
Im looking for a tap set up to M8 or M10 with the 3 types of each.
I have decent taps in the sizes I use most so just wanted a cheap set for the other sizes.
All the ones on ebay I have seen either tap and die sets or sets with just one type of tap.
I have seen sets in the past that come in a drill bit type box sometimes with the correct drill bit too.
Any ideas who sells these or where to look?
Thanks

I got a jcb set from argos which hasn't been too bad for the money.
Cheers
Rich
Not in this years catalogue though, will search now
Only link I can find is this Linky mine did
come with the drill bits too.

I find it better to just buy the taps you want, when you need them.
Most of a set will be redundant.

For maintenance rather than scratch building parts Hex (not split) dies are the bees knees for repairing threads --- you can turn them with a
spanner or socket.
Loads of set -- Maplin sell them also loads on Ebay.

I know, Im not short of places to buy quality tools round here! I have a load of decent taps in the sizes I use often, but there is the odd occasion
where I need a metric tap for cleaning out a thread or putting a thread in some ali so they dont need to be great quality, just a full set so I have
them.
RDG tools looks pretty good, thanks for the link.
