I dont know if a 00-90 would work. Got my screws and tap at McMaster-Carr. I think i do have a screw out in the garage. Would have to check.

 

[Mitchg07261995]

that would be great steve, how much would you want for a 000-120 if you have one in your garage? Ill check with mcmaster-carr for the tap

 

[stevehuckss396]

You can have it just pay the shipping. What does it cost to send a letter these days, 50 cents?

 

[Mitchg07261995]

sounds about right lol
i can have the .50$ in the mail in a couple minutes. Could you message me with your address?

 

[Mitchg07261995]

I forgot to get back to you!

I do have 3 more screws .093 long

 

[Mitchg07261995]

Thats fine Steve I just sent you a message regarding the screws, I am ready to make the base, i have tried 2 times today and will try again tomorrow. I was worried that our drill collets would not hold the tiny #80 drills that I have, but I checked it today and they fit nice and snug

will this tap work for the 000-120? I cant spend $50 for a tap at this time because I am saving for a concert in september with the bands Anthrax, Iron Maiden, and Megadeth

Tomorrow I will drop 2 screws and a tap in the mail. Deep breaths!!

 

[stevehuckss396]

Mail the tap back to me if you don't break it and we'll call it even.

 

[Mitchg07261995]

Wow thank you so much Steve! I will mail back when finished with the tap, I will do everything not to brake it

 

[stevehuckss396]

Wait till you see it.

 

[Mitchg07261995]

no work made today on my engines, spent the whole day tramming milling machine heads, cleaning and cutting 32 pieces of alum for the Skills competition that is taking place tomorrow through friday

 

[Mitchg07261995]

hey steve! i got the screws and the 000-120 tap today, thanks a bunch! i probably will make the cylinder on monday and tuesday
man this thing is tiny!

 

[Mitchg07261995]

well... im still waiting for my other drill bits to arrive from tool king. One of them is a #71 that I need so that I can make the cylinder, tap the 000-120 hole and get Steve his tool back to him
They were supposed to show up 7 days ago...

 

[stevehuckss396]

If I had known I could have sent the drill with the other stuff.
