Rare Tap and Die?

[Degnol]

I need a M14 x 1 tap and would like the same die, but can get along without it if I have to as I have found a 1 pitch thread file. These things are like Hen's teeth.
Anyone have one to loan? To sell?

H'ep!

Found it at Enco.

DAMN, Doug! Good find. I think Poser is sending me a loaner tap and die, so I'm covered, but thanks for finding that and at a good price, too

You're welcome. I didn't check to see if they have a die but I suspect that they do. Glad to help.

That beats the hell out of $56!!! Especially since I'm only cleaning up threads, not cutting a bunch.
Thanks Luke

If you are just cleaning threads, sometimes you can make an angle cut on an extra bolt and use it to chase the threads. The angle cut willl resemble the cut on a Unit Bit and Tapered drill bit.
