    Hey gents

    Brilliant thank you very much for the tips. Unfortunately I don't have access to a lathe although the occasional eBay search has been done . I thought I might be able to achieve a similar creation by glueing some washers together in a stack on a plate to keep it all true. I have seen that people also put taps into the drill press and do it this way that I thought may be worth a try.

    I've used a drill press to keep the tap straight whilst hand tapping....is that what you mean?
