Any ideas where I can buy an 8mm thread tap.

Many Thanks

Jim

If no luck at Sozos, there is a diy shop opposite papantonious out on the geroskipou road, he's an engineer and has all sorts of specialist stuff

You could try One Stop.

Went to One Stop and then to Sozos this morning but they had none in stock so will try Geroskipou on Friday.

Well that's what the lad told me, he had an 8mm die (which he showed me) but no 8mm taps.

A shop one can get nearly everything is: Anfipa Ltd.

What are you trying to tap a thread into.

I finally managed to get an 8mm 3 tap set from Tower Electrics after calling in at everywhere suggested. It's to tap out 3/8" Whitworth threads on some furniture as I can't get imperial bolts here. 8mm starts ok but gets thread bound. The thread looks too coarse for BSF so guessing it's Whitworth.
