What you have to tap won't fit in the lathe chuck or faceplate???

Your question started of asking for a tap. They do not make that thread any more, unless someone knows different. The best thing to do is to cut the thread on your lathe. Start out making the external threads first, then the internal internal using the external as a gauge for the fit. It not that big a deal just pay attention when cutting the threads both in and out, and the practice is good for the more you learn. the more you will be able to do. Nelson Collar

Actually, it turns out that MSC still offers three choices of 1-1/2"-8 taps, but they're all over $200. The internal single-point operation isn't difficult if you keep clearance in mind.

Actually, they do. Bass Tool & Supply (in Houston) lists two US brands in taper, plug and bottoming. Last year's prices ranged from $75 to $85. Wholesale Tooll also lists them but only USA made so about the same price. If WT lists them, Enco probably does as well, but I didn't check.

However, I agree with previous posts that if you are making something from scratch to screw onto your spindle, you are probably better off cutting the threads with the lathe it's going on. Robert D.

Let me guess, you have a 405 and need to thread a chuck base or face plate.
Never heard of anyone using a tap to do it. Best to cut the thread on a lathe to match your spindle, including register shoulder. I own a 405 and actually bought another lathe to do this job, well that is what I told my wife. I got that look from her... you know the one. Ed S

The 405 is 1-3/8-10
Later Workshops, 415 and later are 1-1/2-8 Jim B Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX

Thanks for pointing it out. Usually taps that big run the hundreds of dollars. Nelson Collar

Wholesale tool has 1 1/2 x 8 taps for $101.28, item 0307-0245. It
might be best to pre-cut your threads and then chase them with the tap.
Turning that much tap in a clean hole would be rather difficult.

After seeing that the tap I need is going to be too hard to find orAnother idea would be to drill the hole out overlarge, then cut threads in a bushing. Or maybe that wouldn't work in a fuel system or you wouldn't be able to press it in anyway.

If one has neither chuck nor faceplate already, it becomes a real chicken-and-egg story how one would hold a workpiece to be able to single-point an internal thread...can't do an internal thread between centers...but it occurs to me that one can buy a 1 1/2-8 faceplate or a 1 1/2-8 chuck backing plate for way less than the cost of the tap from places like tools4cheap.net...I got a chuck backing plate from tools4cheap for about $50 and a faceplate from a different ebay seller for $38. With one or the other of those one can fixture anything else that may need threading to screw onto the spindle. If you *aren't* needing it to tap either a face plate or a chuck back plate, please PLEASE assuage my curiosity by telling us what you ARE tapping...
