    Looking for British BA tap/die set, BA 0-10.

    Eeeks I guess I better figure out the distinguishing features of those two threads and decide what i actually have. I'd be really p1ssed if I cut the wrong thread for an intricate little steam engine part thinking I had done it right and cram the two parts together. I had bought this set for...

    Looking for British BA tap/die set, BA 0-10.

    I'm always amazed at the horrible footwear (and general working conditions) I see the east Indian/Pakistani workers wearing in the YouTube videos. Dudes doing heavy metal working, sludge hammers, welders, torches wearing flip flops or sandals of some sort. :eek: Myself, I've been really liking...
