OK, my Nova DVR 3000 has a 1 1/4 8 Tpi thread on the spindle. I'd really like to buy a tap for making my own wooden faceplates etc.
I checked at one place and they want over $150 for one lousy tap![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I found one on Yahoo auction, it is a 1 1/4" 7W, I fear it is not the same, but I wonder what is with that "W" designation?

I'm looking online and through a couple catalouges I have, but I've not yet found an answer.......... are 1 1/4" 8 Tpi and 1 1/4" 7W mean the same thing?
I very much doubt it, but who knows, and at $40 for the two taps, it seems like a real deal.
Cheers!
