    Alexander Tool and Cutter Grinder

    Colour scheme looks similar to Stefan Gotteswinters clone. If it is the same machine (likely a rebrand from overseas) then is maybe worth a couple hundred bucks… maybe I’m wrong… wouldn’t be the first time

    ISO m12 x 1.25 tap

    If you have one that would be lovely, yeah I literally need to tap a single hole and don’t have the confidence to do an internal thread with out anything to check the thread against. It’s also a blind hole
