Best lathe tap & die???? Help

[CCCerakote]

Thanks you guys are amazing! If only everywhere was as helpful or even as involved as you guys have been…. Yes I am gunsmithing and designing my own muzzlebrake. I just signed the lease today so the pressure is on to get it perfect. I do single point the barrels. (Ive become pretty versed there) the tap & die utilizing the lathe is new to me and Do you know the saying if you’re going to buy it by it once that’s why I’m looking for nice ones upfront! BTW thanks again for taking the time to help me out whether it’sbeating on me to get it right or even just advice! Lol
