G'day fellow metalworkers.

I want to make some small working turnbuckles for a model aircraft. For this I require some tiny left hand taps & dies about 1mm or 10 B.A. Do such items exist, and if so, where may I obtain such?

Thanks in advance * Danny MZ*

Danny,

See

http://www.tracytools.com/taps-and-dies/BA-taps-dies?product_id=239

You'll pay a premium for L/H but they do offer them and metric too although they are more expensive
