	Whitey, Is it absolutely necessary that you have a die, It's not difficult to cut a thread on a lathe unless the part your threading is so short you cannot get a descent grip on it. All you need is the correct gear wheel changes on your lathe. Harry

	Whitey, What's this for?? Sounds like you might be looking for a British BA screw. I went through this with my Westley Richards and came up with about a 9-36. Harry clued me in to a BA#2. I've got screws if you need some.

	If you have a tap, making a die is not that difficult. Use drill rod for material. Drill the three relief holes and plug them with round stock. Then drill & tap the die. Knock out the plugs and heat treat the die.

	Whitey try Morrison Miniature Machines, they list the 2 BA size taps and die on the Hand Tools page, they also have over size special taps & dies listed. It looks to me that the 2 BA thread is about 32tpi not the 36tpi you need. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Mike

	British Association threads are true bas*rds, not inch or metric and 47.5 thread angle. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)
