The tap and drill saga...

[Alchymist]

Spending days getting taps and dies organized. Last fall got all (mostly all) drill bits in one tool box, taps and dies in another. No real sorting, just sorted into type in drawers. So last couple days been making dividers and sorting and labeling. Couple things stick out - like why in He11 can't tap manufacturers mark the size legibly? And a lifetime accumulation of taps wind up with some missing sizes in a series, and too many duplicates in others. Like about 15 or more 3/8-16's. Oddest tap - a 17/32 -32. Another day or so and they will be binned and labeled.

I used a flat plastic tacklebox tray and removed the lid for my taps. Just used masking tape and a sharpie to label the sizes. The dividers are adjustable for the length of the tap.
