Model engine taps

[Tanner Remillard]

Does anyone know where to get a 3/16-40 and 1/4-40 Model Taper Pipe Tap's? I am working on an Economy Model and need these taps.

I think those taper pipe taps are proprietary items of Coles'. You can usually substitute straight thread pipe with little problem.

I did find them on Model Engineering Society's website, but there about $30 a piece. Listed as Model Taper Pipe.

I bought mine from Coles power models out in California. I heard they have changed hands but I don't know their new address.

Try American Model Engineering Supply www.americanmodeleng.com They sell them for sure.

You could also try Tiny Power www.tinypower.com

Good Luck

I got mine from PM Research back at the NAMES show
Should be on their website...

PM Research's, and Stuart's are straight thread, not taper. As I said, they will work.
