Might be the cheapest way. If its's a through hole you'll get away with just the taper

Re: i need a hole tapping!
aye id looked at tracey tools, the hole is indeed through but 40mm deep/thick.
being a tight fisted yorkshire man im loathed to spend money ive not got on a tap ill use once!
do you know anyything about the strength of duel threads - ie lh and rh in the same thread? some people use them on their lathes, just doesnt seem a good idea to me!

The title of this thread sounds like a plea from Graham Norton............. That is all.
Re: i need a hole tapping!
I was waiting for a VND reply!
its part of my new lathe, its a spindle thread adaptor.
external (m33x3.5) goes into the chuck.
the internal thread, currently 3/4x16tpi, needs to be 1" bsf to match the spindle thread on the lathe.

Re: i need a hole tapping!
Makes sense, the headstock spindle on my metal lathe is 1" BSP too, hence why I know the price. Not bought one yet though, but I need to do a faceplate for my 4-jaw.
