M18x1mm thread cut - Cork area

    I'm looking for somewhere to get M18 x 1mm thread cut on the outside of a short piece of brass tubing. The other end of the tubing is shaped so it won't fit in a lathe. I've tried a few garages and engineering workshops but none have a M18x1mm die. If anyone knows somewhere in or near Cork city or south / west of it (Carrigaline - Bandon - Ballincollig ) I'd be grateful.

    Try ar brownlows in cork for a die. Otherwise tooling and engineering distribution will have one in Dublin who can post out.

    Thanks for that. It's a once off job and I don't do much metal work so I was hoping to find somewhere that could do it for me rather than have to tool up and get a suitable vice, die, stock and centering tool; but if needs be I'll try Brownlow's.
