vaccum Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Thread pitch is special to Polex crown tubes. The best option is to get a tap designed for the polex CT. vaccum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 small tap is 2.50 x 0.25mm and the large tap is 3.00 x 0.30mm. At least for the Ofrei ones. The ebay ones should be the same, but read the fine print and ask questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaccum Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Go with the Ofrei taps for Polex 6mm. No problems so far. Cheers, vaccum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 I've tapped about 20 cases with the set from eBay. I can recommend that one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
