You are correct. I changed my order. Just getting the one plug tap. If I need more taps, I can go to a local place here. This way, I can see what is being purchased!

Hot n Cold - Yes sir, have the lube already with the handles for the tap. Can someone advise on the set degree? PLEASE!

Thanks Guys!

I wish I could find my whole tap set that I got when I jacked the threads on a water pump....cannot find it now though! ARG! It was like a 30 piece set!

LOL! yeah Walter! i've got a nice experiment of your revo centerdiffholder laying here.. I think it has got 2 taps and 4 drills in it.. :p

So, any advice on the degree of a set for a screw? I cannot seem to find it anywhere!

Look for countersink bit, is that what you're looking for?

YEAH! That is it! I kept looking for "screw setter"! Yeah, I'm a DA! Anyways, I will search this, is there a specific degree though? For some reason I thought there was?

Serum 01.17.2007 02:00 PM

90 degrees IIRC

Thanks Serum! What is IIRC? Sorry for all the dumb questions!:005:

bdebde 01.17.2007 02:23 PM

I think 82 degrees is most common angle.

neweuser 01.17.2007 02:28 PM

Well, with M3 screws, to set them in, I know they are a specific setting degree from my understanding. Just need to be sure on that. I think Serum might be right, as he usually is.

Ok, so they have 82* and 90*. Also, what does the "shank" mean?

bdebde 01.17.2007 04:05 PM

Shank size, is where it goes in the drill on a single ended one, it is the outside diameter on the double ended ones. Get one that has an outside diameter of your screws head, or just slightly larger. I do believe that 82 degrees is standard for most screws.

All the ones I have here at work are 82 degrees (at work now). I will have to check the one at home to be sure (it is the one that I actually use for 3mm screws on rc cars).

thanks man! wouldn't happen to have one for sale would you? LOL

It could be 82 degrees, with my 90 degree only the shoulder of the screw hits the material.

IIRC; If I Recall Correctly.. Didn't knew it either, here is a good searchengines for oldies like us; www.urbandictionary.com

Hey Serum. Thank you for all your help. I got an 82* and will see how it pans out.
If you guys are wondering why all of these DA questions, I plan on trying....and I mean trying to customize a chassis for my rc18t. The only tricky part that i can see is how the nose is at a slight angle. Now, carbon fiber does not bend, so need to figure that part out. maybe the front of the chassis will have to be part aluminum.
