Lots of very good information by the look of it Walter, it's very generous of you to share it. Thanks very much.

Can I ask, do double or triple start taps and dies require very much more force than standard ones to get them to cut? I suppose threading plastic is easy enough but are your metal pens a challenge to cut? I only normally use metric coarse taps and dies but find anything above M8 a bit of a chore cutting stainless steel.

G'Day William, some where on my computer I have a tutorial on how to triple start threading on your metal lathe, if I can find it I will email it to you.
