highflier · **O.T. Tools Tap and Die set Help Please -** 12.28.2007, 11:15 PM

All,

I have never used and do not own a Tap and Die set. However a post a little while back indicates that I need one :) At least a M3 for the FLM antena hole.

There has been other times that I wanted to do this also. So a little advice on where and what set to get would be great.

I would like to buy once and not have to buy again. Most of my uses are of smaller hobby stuff but sometimes grow into larger projects.

A nice case organizer would be good to. Also is there a handy guide that tells you which size drill bit to use before you use XX tap?

This seems pricy but sounds nice.

However it does not list sizes.

Also it seams to me the Tap is the item of interest to me. It is always easy to buy a new bolt, but to thread a hole requires you have the tools, Am I missing something here?
