5/8" UNF die and 3/4" UNF die

Hi Chaps

After a favour and the lend of a 3/4 inch UNF die and a 5/8 inch UNF die. I just have some expensive rose joints which I need to clean up the threads on!

Happy to make a charity donation and or supply a bit of beer money.

Thanks in advance!

Must be truly enormous rose joints ---- I have never seen UNF dies that big.

However if you ebay you will find them for less than you might expect
Ebay items 370152702977 & 370326922180

I have used the seller RDGTOOLS --- very quick delivery & good price

Actuall this set might be more useful to you as they are Hex dies not split dies
ebay item 140263497840

Strangley it is another ebay trader I have bought tools from also found very good.

I have used RGD tools in the past and found them to be very good. however I bought a 5/8 tap recently and was dissapointed to find it was only basic carbon steel.

My own fault I should have been aware when the advert did not specify the quality and RGD responded quickly stating they do not sell HSS tools now as they are too dear for most customers.

As it happens I only want to tap 8 holes so hopefully the carbon steel tools will last if I take it easy but in the past I have found poor quality tools to be false economy.
