Just an inexpensive set, but it fills in the blanks. I plan to replace any breakage with higher quality pieces. This is a way to get started. I machine some of my own pieces. My tap & dies have been pretty much bits and pieces, but I have a mini lathe and a large drill press. From my experience [retired almost 12 yrs.] it is best to buy the big stuff BEFORE you retire. I have two shops on this property. I bought it back when things were a lot cheaper, and I was a lot younger. The Covid-19 thing has given me new focus. I plan my projects a little ahead now so I am not setting around for a week waiting for pieces. ...J.D.
