Looking for a 3/8-14 Tap

I'm having trouble finding some of the more obscure tap sizes at local places and was wondering where the best place to buy is. Atlas has them for about $50 which seemed a little high, but maybe it's not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

I know Mr. Webb has mentioned a place that makes custom taps, but i can't remember for the life of me who it was...

Well they aren't 50 bucks. Or maybe they are with shipping?
 
Jack,

Your best bet would be to get the one from atlas if you really need one.
It is a good quality tap.

I paid more than $50. for mine. I have three. When it comes to tools no price is to high if you get what you want.
 
I go to travers for taps I have not had a problem with any taps I have gotten from them. I think they cut better than the ones I have gotten from atlas. www.travers.com they have most sizes and alot of them arent very expensive. I got 2 of each of the standard ones for less than $50. Most taps there are 8-15 bucks. Not bad.

I'm glad you understand, Atlas sure didn't when I told them there were selling a tap for Omega/Bender not cutec. Everyone thinks it's always easy and inexpensive.

Travers has the short 3/8-14. It is a full size tap. If you are wanting it for Cue Tech then the fit will be very loose. Cue Tech is really about 1/64 undersized.

that's really good to know, because my playing cue is an omega which is one of the reasons i was interested in that tap size. but now i don't know where to get a pin for the joint protectors i'd like to make as i was going to pull one from a broken cuetec i have at the store.
