[QUOTE="Janger, post: 4673, member: 3"] Can a tap be made at home? Seems similar to the gear teeth cutters some people make. Just musing out loud, cut a taper on lathe, cut discs into the taper on lathe, then mill slots transverse across discs to make teeth. Sharpen the teeth. Use O1 or something as the stock, maybe drill rod, and then heat and harden. lots of fussy work... but cheap? practical? Josh has a kiln with a temp read out for the heating. [/QUOTE]
