I will tomorrow hopefully be able to get to the trader who might have a tap for me.
The flange at the bottom of the thread is not required by me so it will be a through hole without a flange to crash into. The last time I bought a tap from this trader I just after trying it into a nut asked him how much they were he said 2 quid and I almost felt guilty as I held a virtually brand new tap in my hand.
I needed one the same thread as a disc cutter so that a lovely diamond grinding would fit on the cutter.
I tried a G-clamp and then elected to put the tap in the vice and turn the work instead.
