So many builders have asked me to add a tap to the catalog of parts needed for the press, that I just couldn't resist. This is the best pipe tap I could find for the money. I figured that since its going into plastic and it only will be used a few times in making the system, it would be pointless to buy an expensive one.

This is the tap with the correct thread configuration for the brass fittings on this website. It's used to easily create threads in the PVC caps on the vacuum press project and vacuum clamping jigs.

• Rugged high carbon steel construction for the most demanding jobs
• Polished flute aids in chip removal to produce a cleaner thread
• Ideal for cutting internal threads in most metals, plastics, and non-fiberous materials 
• 8 to 10 threads chamfered for easy starting
• Made in USA

Be sure to select the appropriate size option!
Note that pipe tap sizes do not refer to diameter.
