The 1/2"-32 used in the 113H is quite common.  The jigmaster fine is nearly as common, but the coarse jigmaster is next to impossible to find.  The 114H and up all use buttress threads, for which there are no commercially available taps.

Crow, that's the place I tried for the coarse JM tap. I think they wanted $110. if I'm not mistaken. I believe it was a custom cut. The 1/2 -32 is reasonably priced.

Doc is correct and pretty much any thread could be cut on the lathe if taps aren't available. The problem becomes the time involved, especially with so many project going on here.

Guys tell me they're board since retirement, ... That has never been the problem here! The only time I'm bored is 9 at night when I quit working and cant find a decent program to watch on TV!

Thanks for providing the link and the info.

     At 9:00, I'm going to bed....no matter WHAT is on TV  ;D

     As to retirement being boring.....I don't know how I ever had time to hold down a job  ???, between the "have to's", and the "want to's", there aren't enough hours in the day....even if I DID stay up past 9:00 !

Thanks, Steve !  This "technology stuff" baffles the heck out of me . For a long time, I *thought* that a lot of the stuff I posted was REALLY important, 'cause it was underlined in red ;)!
