    Does anyone have a tap?

    I need a 15/16-16 tap to tap out 3 holes, does anyone have one laying around for me to borrow or a cheap place to buy one?
    Thank You,

    Paul,
    I have one you could borrow. Only used once, practically new.

    Consider grinding a 12-24 bolt on 4 sides all the way up the threads to the head(for chip breaking and chip removal), taper the first third of the bolt for ease of starting the tap., instant tap/thread chaser. Feel free to harden it after if you have a torch and oil handy, don't forget to temper....;D

    good luck
