burnt said...: I got a tap & die set from Harbor Freight for about $20 (http://www.harborfreight.com/40-piece-alloy-steel-tap-and-die-set-39424.html) HF isn't known for terrific steel, but I haven't had any issues with them yet! Alternately, you should be able to find 3/16" dies at many online retailers such as Aircraft Spruce (http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/adjustable.php).; December 14, 2011 at 4:34 PM
