Note that in your Subject line, you said 0-80, not 00-xx.

Yes! Don't need to go further than 0, thanks.

Good enough.

At that price, I would get one, and try it with your #00-96 was
that the pitch for a #00?

0-80 is all I need. I'll get one of the little guys with my next
order, thanks, DoN.

You're welcome. Remember to order some spiral point ("gun")
taps to go with it, if you don't already have some. (I actually like
them for hand tapping as well, when doing through holes, at least.)

For that matter, if you have enough room behind the workpiece,
the combination drill and tap works quite well -- at least in 1/4-20 in
1/2" aluminum and 1/4" steel at least -- the only places I've used it.
That 1/2" aluminum was about the maximum thickness for a through-tapped
hole in that size with the combo drill/tap.

I need to get and try some other sizes.

Enjoy,
DoN.
