Following my previous post, I ordered a set of M2.5 carbon steel taps and a new tap holder from Tracy Tools. They phoned this afternoon to let me know that one of the taps was out of stock but would it be OK if they substituted a (much more expensive) HSS spiral point equivalent at no extra cost? Also, it looked like the tap holder I’d asked for was probably a bit too big for the taps I’d ordered so they would throw in a smaller one too. 😀
