Cheap vs or/and good quality taps and dies
Hi All
Would add the comment I own one very good set of taps and dies which I use only for cutting new threads or chasing really important existing threads. For all work cleaning threads of dirt and in particular rust I use the cheap taps and dies which I consider consumables once they start to dull. For cleaning threads I have also found that the twisted wire brushes in various sizes are very useful, particularly with blind threaded holes. A low speed reversible variable speed drill works well running back and forth through. Cheers Phil

Hanno,
Just like you I also have to look for a set of taps and dies for the CMP; I know some good quality ones do pop up on marktplaats.nl every once in a while; although usually not as a set, but as separate items, so you might have to keep and eye out to gather a whole set. I have also seen good quality USED ones at the yearly KTR fair in Breda and at Baco in IJmuiden (only the smaller sizes though). Alex
