NPTF Thread Die
NPTF Thread Die
(OP)
I feel like I am loosing my mind. I am searching for an NPTF thread die, not a plug tap, to cut/form a male thread form. The size I need is 1/8-27.
I can find all kinds of taps, but no dies which makes no sense to me. I have already checked the regulars; McMaster, Grainger, MSC, J&L, Rigid without luck. Anybody have some leads??

But dies... how to run it conically? It seems no way, you need to use nearest lathe.
I didn't try so far, but as you can see on the link, if you turn on lathe with conical deflection set, the insert has predetmined inclination so you will achieve conical shape with thread profile triangle that is perpndicular to axis of pipe (without predermined angle on cutter insert you will end with profile trinagle skewed).

but of course NPTF. If anybody can come up with some leads it would be greatly appreciated.
