I've sent you a pm (private message). Look for the envelope in the top right corner of the page, next to your name.

If you're going to go with what you've got, make sure you leave enough room for the w/m to be slid straight out, you never know when (not if) you will need to pull the w/m out for some reason.

To design, source the parts, then build a cnc machine certainly isn't 'simple'!!

But you've seen plenty in your rear-view mirror!! I'll get my coat. 😙

That is REALLY going to put the cat among the pigeons, so to speak!

@MorrisWoodman12 , pm sent.

I've bought in some of their daily deals, can't fault the quality so far! HTH.

Great! Have you the files available for this please?

Beautiful. What is it like to work please?

They're in another warehouse!

@Spectric - I'm chaotic so I must be creative! I've found that you have to laugh, or you'll go mad! My wife and I (bless her) had 30 years of laughter, and that's how I carry on since I lost her last year. That was my 'annus horribilus', or summat like that.

Pete, that is SOME threading going on! Wow! Not quite what I had in mind. I looked at the Lee Valley kits and, to be honest, I didn't really like the look of them. To all of the other people that have replied, some of the suggestions are great, some I couldn't find, but a THANK YOU to you all...

@Inspector - I looked on Amazon but obviously used the wrong terminology as it came up with nothing. Just shows to go you! Thankyou, my wife used to be able to find stuff, just as you do. It's cheaper than the wooden one that I found, but the plastic makes it look awful. I'll still be buying it...

I've looked on FB. It's quite a specialised item, nothing on Gumtree either. I'll leave it for a few days, just in case someone comes forward. There's no rush. If I have to bite the bullet and buy a set, at least I know where to look! Okay, practical it is, or even prudently hopeful! @ Duke...

Has anyone got a 1 1/2" or 1 1/4" thread-making kit that I could buy please? I'm after both the tap and the die. I've found one online, but then thought about you folk on here that have all sorts of things. They are quite pricey new, but are the kind of things you buy and are almost a single...
