    Anybody have or know where I might get
    a extrude and tap forming tool?
    The metal is steel .759mm (22 Gauge) CRS
    and the tap is M3.00
    Instead of a forming tool is there a better way?
    I'm using SW2006 SP 4.1
    Thanks in advance
    Cheers

    If you're running this in a turret press, contact the turret
    manufacturer, or Wilson Tool or Mate tool. Pem inserts are a decent
    alternative to a tap and form too.

    Thanks for the lead but I don't think
    they would have a "Solidworks forming tool"
    for a extrude and tap. I'm sorry I should've
    mentioned I'm looking for a Solidworks feature
    which in this case is called a "forming tool"
    Solidworks has a sample of an extrude in thier
    design libaray under "forming tools"
    Anyone make one for an M3.00 using 22 gauge CRS?
    Thanks in advance
    Cheers
