Read and understand the standard, instead of just referencing it, and
you'll see why no proper tap or die exists. Or read my old post:

Dr. Kinch, why can't a guy with your capabilities and knowledge be
helpful once in a while?
Define "helpful". I've supplied the facts and analysis, which lead to a
negative conclusion in answer to a straightforward technical question.
It's not "helpful" to be positive about something when the truth is
negative. At least in metalworking.
I think I've seen taps and dies in the McMaster Carr catalog.
Great, why don't you think us up a part number or URL, and I'll eat my hat!
