Custom tap size

Rstewart · Mar 20, 2008

We're lookin to have a custom tap made just to clean up slight thread damage we see from time to time. The call out on the drawing is 2 9/16 - 20PPP 2A. I know it's 20 TPI and it's a class 2A thread but what the hell is PPP? Not in the "Book". Any Ideas??

Try Western Tap in California:

Many times I have called at 2:00 PM central time and they have been able to grind a special and ship it the same day. I would get it next day on UPS red.
(as long as they have the blank in stock)

Or try Widell: http://www.widell.com/

Vermont Tap and Die has a 2-day specials program:

The guys a Western are great. It's a small company and they have great service and support.
Good luck,
Curt
