Tap & die supplier near Reading?

[Steve_W]

Afternoon all,

I need an M10 x 1.0 tap to recut a blind thread in the end of a shaft. I tried Drews but they don't have a tap that size; can anyone recommend a supplier near Reading (or online) who might have such a thing?

I'm presuming I should get an HSS one as I don't hear good things about carbon taps?

Thanks,
Steve
