    Default coventry die head chasers

    Hi all, looking for some chasers to complete my set for my 1/2 inch Coventry die head, anyone got some for sale or multiple sets?
    I have extra sets in some sizes, so could do a swap etc.

    I also have 3/4 1 and 1 1/2 inch heads with some chasers I do not currently use.

    Thanks... Steve

    snaptap... thanks for reply. about to check what I need, have a job coming up to make some BSF studs for a guy repairing British bikes, but only have 7/16 BSF... so will need 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 1/2 and 5/8 inch to complete that range. am also missing 5/8 UNF (think I have all the other UNF sizes, as well as the BSW.
    As I said just about to sort out the box of chasers and get an idea of the ones I'm missing.
    Should have checked the chasers when I got the die head a few years ago... but naturally tooling just sits in the locker until you need to use it... about time I sorted the "toys" accumulated over the years.
    Have the correct Coventry grinding jig for sharpening as well if you need yours sharpened?

    Again thanks for getting back to me...

    snaptap... thanks for the reply bud. handy little die head to have... but a bit like a bath without the plug, not having the chasers to suit. I just went through what I have (and have not) and need BSF 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 1/2, 9/16 and 5/8. UNF 1/4, 5/16 and 5/8. BRASS I have noting at all, so anything would be an addition. I think the guy I got the head from must have been just cutting metric and pipe fittings... as I have several sets of ISO 12 if you need a set?
    Again thanks for the reply... steve

    Thanks in advance... Steve

    Do you specifically require these chasers to fit the 1/2" head or can you accommodate the size you need in one of your larger heads? Regards Norm

    Norm... I need them to suit the 1/2 coventry head. need most of the BSF sizes (have some studs to make) and 5/8 UNF and 3/8 W, to make up the imperial sizes.

    Thanks for the feedback... Steve.
