John hall,

perfect answer.......

I would never go near even the softer ST/Steels with a carbon anything....

For jobs that involve more than a few threaded holes in ST/Steel I always buy a new tap....

Stainless is awful stuff to machine/work esp by hand ....

I bought a metric tap 32mm dia in carbon for a one off job in ally.....

a decent european or US single tap was almost £80 on offer...mine came from China at 20!!!!!


out of interest I have just found a place that sell rolled brass threaded rod.....

again if u lived near me u could just pop round and get the job sorted....

not even for beer money as I dont drink.....lol....
