    Do you have taps for TR10x2D and TR10x2G (therse are trapezoidal thread, RH and LH)? Many of us have taps n dies for standard metric threads, those are rarely the problem, its the more esoteric ones that cause problems...

    I thought of buying some delrin block from ebay. I have some delrin 10x2 round nuts but they are a pain to mount unlike the block ones you supplied.

    How straight forward is it to make a tap using a length of trapezoidal screw ?

    Humm...

    Of the three tap types, there is a tapered tap for the initial thread cutting, an intermediate type, this is used to progress the thread.

    Finally, a "Bottoming" tap, this is used to obtain the full thread depth when cutting a thread that does not go the whole of the way trough the piece. (Your hole to be tapped has a bottom to it AKA (pocket).

    So you would put a taper on it and then some slots/flutes:

    put a 4" length of trap rod in a drill chuck or lathe. Spin it up and apply a file to the last inch to taper it to the thread depth. Lock the chuck or hold rod in vice) and grind 3 'slots' at 120deg for 3" using a thin cutting disc (or file it if you feel up to it). lastly file the untapered end to a square.

    Good enough for delrin. For a tigher finish lightly file the overall thread by about 0.05 - 0.1mm

    I did it and it works... for nylon or acetal a few times... but wont do brass without hardening...
