5/16x 36 unfs .

Tracy tools show no stock but can they order one in for you ?

Have you tried ebay , amazon etc ?

Just in case any one here in Australia is looking for odd sized taps and dies LPR Toolmakers have a good range and can get specials made for you – no connection other than a happy customer !

Are you sure it is UNS? There is a 5/16 x 36 Whitform tap on eBay right now, I suppose almost anything is possible.

.

Like using the tap to make a die, to clean up the thread ?

… I think this might be an easier approach:

With a possible three week waiting time, and iffy chinese quality at that price, a tap, hacksaw blade and a bit of heat treatment might be a far better, or more satisfying, proposition. It would for me!

I suppose that would depend upon the material and purpose of thread in question, and its present condition. … [all being, as yet unspecified].

I have a tap but no die. I am working with aluminium tubing it was originally a Hornady cartridge over all length gauge. I snapped the threaded end off and want to re cut it so I don't have to spend £50 for a new one.

Re cut it on the lathe if the gauge is the straight OAL gauge type

If it is a hornady product the likelihood of it being Whitworth are zero and more likely to unfs which i would guess is a 60 deg thread .

Often the case that insufficient relevant detail is included, so responses are made taking into account the suspected application. Die nuts are generally used for cleaning up damaged threads and one might expect the OP to ask for what he/she requires. Making a die nut is not that difficult.

As my original post said I want to source a die nut in 5/16×36 TPI what I want to use it for is irrelevant.

You either know were I can get one or you don't. It sounds like you don't. That's all I wanted to know.

So, Dave … Did you order the one I found for you ?

If you did; then please report back as to whether it was worth the price of half a pint of Bitter.
