--- Quote from: Jasonb on August 20, 2012, 02:03:28 PM ---You may also want to think about using M6x0.75, this is the metric fine range and is used on quite a lot of European made steam fittings if you should ever have a need to buy them you will then have suitable taps & dies. It also means you can still use standard 6mm diameter materials, if you go to ME threads then you will also need 1/4" round stock. Also when you come to redrill the gland hold the work in the 4-jaw so it will stay true. J --- End quote --- Hi Jason, Thanks for the info, very good! I actually do have an M6x0,75 tap and die but only the first, I need to add the second and bottom taps to complete the set. :D I was also a bit surprised to hear that there are steam fittings in metric, havenīt heard that before. Must google that. Yes, I will cobble something up so I can hold the cap properly in the 4-jaw for correcting the gland goof. By the way, is soft soldering enough or should I go for silver solder?

By the way, is soft soldering enough or should I go for silver solder You have to go with silver solder. :headbang: |
| PeterE:
OK, good to know. Time to revive my silver soldering skills. BR /Peter |
| Jasonb:
If you are only going to run on air then soft solder would do, silver would be advisable for steam. I'll dig out. Link for the steam fittings when i'm on my other computer tomorrow. J |
| PeterE:
Hi Jason, OK, I guess that the steam temp will be high enough to challenge the soft solder joints. I think I will go for silver soldering anyway. BR /Peter |
