Can you recommend a reasonable priced <£30 tap & die set that'll be decent enough?
If you're just doing a couple of axles, pretty much anything will work. You should get a set of M6 taps (taper lead and bottoming) and a tap wrench to hold them. Mine came from RS about a million years ago, e.g. Taps: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/threading-tap-sets/5089496/ Wrench: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/tap-die-wrenches/4241126/
