[Jewelry making - Article 00249] - [Orchid] Tapping earring post

Hello,

    I already have a tap and die for earrings but the thread is too
    tight and involves too much winding. Whenever I have a request for
    these I don't make them, I buy them. I can't find what I need
    locally. 

    Does anybody have a good supplier for tap and dies that have a loose
    thread? 

    It seems to me that 3-4 turns should do it and a heavy thread is
    better then fine. 

    Sorry for the complete lack of proper technical jargon. Hope it
    makes sense. 

    Add I'd like to start afresh with ALL my stamps (Plat, Pt, Pd, 750,
    etc in 2 sizes). Does anybody know a good stamp maker who uses good
    quality _heavy_ stock? It is important to me that they are all the
    same weight, and the heavier the better. 

Phillip
