Are any of these correct for your needs , I have found it better to go direct to thee site than via e-bay as they have a larger range
. Plus they have the speck for most items, they are quick on delivery.

Hi Peter,

Firstly welcome to the forum and thanks for your first post.
I think you may have meant to post your message on another thread here, (just so people can follow) http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=460.0

That is where I bought my spindle and tap from, but off ebay.

Any chance you can post something in the welcome area and let us know a little about what area interest you most in machine work. I guess if you are buying spindles you are up to something interesting  :wave:

Regards
Darren

Darn it...!!

Just broke a HSS 4mm tap in the piece....*^$%*"

Darren:
I dug this one out from beyond the grave back of the drawer.

If you remember I broke a tap in it and put it aside till now.
Well with my new "killer" drill bits, tungsen carbide tipped, I decided to have a go and see if I could drill the broken 5mm HHS tap out. There was a fair bit of it in there, but what the heck, nothing ventured and all that.

Set it up ready to murder, as Bogs would say, over the offending hole....



Well no real drama, used a 4.5mm bit followed by a 5mm. All holes now done



Even the tap behaved itself, on this one I tapped a little, fully retracted, tapped a little more and so on. It was tight as the drill bit got thrown off very slightly.
The reverse feature on the new mill was nice in this instance to retract the tap. (tapped manually though) New size was 6mm.



All done and grub screws inserted into their new home.



Well, I didn't expect this to work, but that's one project saved...... :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:

Nice rescue Darren.

There is usually a way to 'fix' most things.
