This 31-piece RUKO CNC tap set is designed for professionals and industrial users needing precision threading tools for unalloyed and low-alloyed steels up to 800 N/mm², tempering cast, and non-ferrous metals. Its key benefit lies in the high-performance HSS taps that ensure accurate thread cutting in three steps. A caveat to note is that the set is optimized for specific material strengths and types, requiring users to confirm compatibility for harder or exotic alloys.

This set is suitable for unalloyed and low-alloyed steels with a tensile strength up to 800 N/mm², as well as tempering cast and non-ferrous metals.
The three-step process allows the tap to cut the thread gradually, reducing the force required, minimizing the risk of tap breakage, and improving thread accuracy.
The set includes hand taps in sizes M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, M12 (each 3-piece set), 7 dies (Ø 25.0 mm) in sizes M3-M12, 1 die stock, 1 tap wrench, and 1 screwdriver.
The set is rated for steels up to 800 N/mm² strength. For significantly harder steels, specialized tooling may be required.
Clean them thoroughly after each use to remove debris. Apply a light oil for rust prevention during storage. Store them in the provided case.
A tap is used to cut internal threads (in a hole), while a die is used to cut external threads (on a rod or bolt).
No, cutting fluid is not included but is highly recommended for optimal performance and tool longevity.
Ensure proper alignment, use adequate cutting fluid, do not force the tap, and make gradual turns with back-taps to clear chips.
Verify correct tap size and material compatibility. Ensure the workpiece hole is pre-drilled to the correct size for the tap. Use cutting fluid.
Check if the die is properly seated in the die stock. Ensure the workpiece rod is clean and of the correct diameter. Apply sufficient cutting fluid.
Ensure the tap/die is started perpendicular to the workpiece surface. A chamfer on the entry hole can help. Use a starting tap if available.
Setup: Ensure the workpiece material is within the specified strength limits (up to 800 N/mm²). Securely insert the appropriate tap into the tap wrench or the die into the die stock. For tapping, apply cutting fluid to the tap and the hole. For die cutting, apply fluid to the die and the workpiece rod.
Compatibility: This set is designed for metric threads (M3 to M12) and compatible materials as listed. The dies have a diameter of 25.0 mm, fitting the included die stock.
Care: After each use, clean the taps and dies thoroughly to remove any metal chips or debris. Apply a light coating of oil to prevent rust, especially during prolonged storage. Store the set in its original case to protect the precision cutting edges. Avoid using excessive force, which can lead to tap breakage.
