Stanley #55 plane thumb screw with shoulder

[Borden Bleich]

Ouch! Lost one they are 1/4-32 UNEF x 1/2"
Will have to manage without for now; any ideas on how to get a die that size?

This vendor has a lot of odd taps and dies. It might change from time to time:

If something isn't listed it may show up later. The list seems to be kept current. They also are good to work with over the phone.

My recollection is they have a $25 dollar minimum order. That may have changed. Look for a few other things you can use.

My suggestion would be to double check the threads on the screw you need. The three thumb screws with shoulders on my #55 were all just checked and have 28 threads per inch.

As I mentioned in another thread, that vendor has extremely competitive prices for US-made tools. I was in the market for wire-gauge, taper-length twist drills anyway, so I took a flyer on one of their sets today. I'm looking forward to seeing how it is.
