Should have one, will check in my toolbox in the morning
I got one if he dont
Or $11 on ebay for a cheapo chinese one, I don't borrow many tools for small jobs when you can buy them so cheap, good enough for the small jobs
$7:99us on aliexpress and free international shipping.

By the time something from aliexpress or dealextreme arrives I would have finished the job and sent it back (by severel weeks) :D
If I was going buy one it would be a decent quality tool from mscdirect or enco etc. Don't really see the point in buying something like that for a job that I am likely to do once in my life.
internal screw cut on that sweet lathe of yours mate
That tiny a hole and such a fine pitch, no thanks :D
Using a boring bar and HSS cutter, don't have carbide tooling for threading yet, so there is a limit to how small a diameter I'd look at doing.
Do you want it or are you going to have a 3 page discussion about it?
All done

Thanks @marky123, tap is on its way back to you, much appreciated :thumbsup:
Ended up having to single point it after all, turns out the gunsmith that did the barrel threading left it oversized for a tighter fit on the supressor...
What lathe have you got?
Mines a Boxford 11-30,11" swing,30" BC and a 34mm bore.
Swing a barrel blank no worries.
Myford ML7
Spindle bore is too small for barrels, probably a good thing :D
I'd blame the silencer maker for the loose internal thread!��Quote:
