1/8" ip hex die
I need to extend the threads on a brass pipe on a lamp I'm refurbishing. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a 1/8" ip hex die? Thanks

I'm pretty sure that cutting 1/8" IP threads on your lamp will require a 3/8-27 die. They go anywhere from $4.95 for cheap import to $12.95 for top quality. I believe JTS Machinery Supply in Mentor, Ohio has them - round yes, hex maybe, not sure. JTS is good source. http://www.jtsmach.com I suggest them becasue they deal direct to you, no middlemen, AND no minimum order.

King:
I paid $110 for a 76 piece Craftsman Tap and Die set (metric and standard) off Ebay. Goes for 170 bones new from Sears and mine was new in the case.
I'm betting Sears goes to one of the major vendors for these items, as they are USA made and seem to be good quality.
