Enhance your threading projects with this high-quality Hand Thread Tap set, crafted from premium high-speed steel for exceptional hardness and wear resistance. Designed with a standard metric thread and a straight groove style, these taps ensure precise, clean, and efficient threading for a variety of materials including thick steel, aluminum, copper, rubber, and wood. The set includes two taps—a first tap for rough threading with a tapered, smooth leading edge for easy alignment, and a second tap for fine threading and removing burrs, delivering perfectly finished threads every time. Key Features: · Premium High-Speed Steel Material: Offers superior hardness and durability, ensuring long-lasting performance and resistance to wear during repetitive use. · Two-Tap Set for Precision Threading: The first tap features a tapered, smooth section for accurate alignment and smooth tapping, while the second tap trims and refines threads, removing burrs for a clean finish. · Standard Metric Thread Design: Clear, tidy threads provide rapid chip removal, improving tapping efficiency and allowing the creation of new threads or repair of damaged ones. · Wide Material Compatibility: Suitable for use on metals such as iron, stainless steel, alloy steel, copper, zinc, abrasive steel, and even softer materials like wood, with extended tool life when used with appropriate coolant. · Versatile Application: Ideal for hand use in through-hole tapping conditions, commonly applied in industries dealing with clocks, watches, and low hardness woods, among others. · Thread Specifications: Metric system with 3 threads, thread tolerance grade of 0.014, designed for through holes with straight groove tap style. Usage Tips: For best results, position the workpiece horizontally or vertically to maintain tap perpendicularity. Start threading by carefully aligning the tap and gently rotating, advancing 1/2 to 1 rotation at a time while periodically reversing to break and clear chips. Apply cutting fluid as necessary to cool and lubricate the tap, enhancing cutting performance and tool longevity. Avoid excessive force or lateral shaking to prevent thread damage or hole expansion. Package Includes: · 2 x Hand Thread Taps (First Tap and Second Tap) This Hand Thread Tap set is an essential tool for professionals and hobbyists requiring precise, efficient, and reliable threading solutions across a broad range of materials and applications. Achieve smooth, clean threads and extend your tool life with this durable, easy-to-use tapping set.
