Hello everyone. I too thank you Bill.I bought one as well, although it has not arrived as yet. For the price, you can loose. Its a far cry for $425.00 (that I saw for sale just a years ago.) So many ideas to play with, ;-) this tap could be very useful.more latter. Have a good day. C.A.G.

I also have a set of Chinese tap and dies that work fine. remember the alternative for a 5/8 x 4 acme tap Is custom made at around $300 to me it is worth trying. that’s why I bought one I will tap a piece of Delrin when I get the chance and see but I’m sure it will work ok.

Well I found this a few weeks back and bought one it arrived today Seems to fit the Delrin nut perfectly. This could be extremely handy if you can’t buy any replacement leadscrew nuts. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1pc-ACME-5-8-4-HSS-Right-Hand-ACME-Thread-tap/254618553544?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 the listing is for 2 but I have seen it sell out and restock twice since I bought mine so every one should be ok to get one. I wanted the make sure it was the right thread before I let you all know about it.
