Re: Acme thread taps

Being from New Jersey, I am not familiar with your part of the
Planet, but.....

do a Google search for machine tools austrialia and you should find
more than a few starting points.

and don't overlook used macherinery suppliers. There are usually
some great deals. Just today, I got an XL belt for my stepper drive
and a Wilton, 1/8 pipe tap extention and a bunch of tap holders for
ten dollars. The XL180 3/8 belt was a bonus, but the Wilton should
have been about $20.00 by itself.

And if you visit such a place, don't overlook old cross slides that
you can adapt for your CNC rig.
