TWW shows them to be out of stock. I have a couple sets of Sorby and like them. They are HSS. The Ray Iles are carbon steel, if that makes a difference to you.

This may interest you since you're looking at threading. Different threading process is used.

What thread pitch do you guys like?
I know it depends on what wood you are threading, and there are a few to choose from. 16 to 20 TPI. I have a 20, and I think it's too fine...... Just my $0.02.

Unless one does a lot of chasing, getting a nice fitting set of threads is tricky. I think 10tpi is much more forgiving and less likely to cross thread in use.
