I have looked for the search function, but I don't see it. :shaking: But, I need to get some info.
Where is a good place to buy a 7/8" - 18 Left Hand Tap for TRE's? I have found the RH taps all over the place, but have not found the LH taps for under $100.
Any help would be appreciated.

LH taps arn't going to be cheap I think I payed around 85 to 100(been 3 or4 years ago) I will look to see where I bought mine at I want to say GOODSON'S ? or that might have been the ream?? When you find one get the 6 flute ones they seem to cut faster and hold up better I have both 4 and 6 flute and the 6 has held up longer than the 4.

The Taps are top notch, mine have been used several times in a lathe to make tie rods and drag links, and work beautifully.
