SRC Member jyoon Posted June 22, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hi Bro If you are looking for quality M3 tapping tools, you can try hobby shops that sells Remote control planes. There are 4 shops in Fook Hai building and 1 shop on 2nd floor kitchen complex (Robo hobby). Those are good stuffs and of cos a price to pay. You can also find the M3 screws there too.

nichjon Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 bro, u can get an M3 sized tap from any good hardware store that sells screws and other such items. Either that or you can drill a slightly smaller hole, then heat up an M3 screw and slowly screw it into the hole, make sure that for every 1/2 turn, you reverse the screw 1/4 turn back as per tapping method, so that the screw doesn't ceaze in the hole.

nichjon Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Oh ok. Anyway if you are use the tap, you would still need to drill a small hole also, it's just that with acrylic, u can actually create threads with a hot screw and it will melt the plastic and create the threads, whereas a tap will actually cut the plastic to create the threads, but both ways are also do-able.
