Troubleshooting
Tap breaks during use
Ensure you are using appropriate cutting fluid, not forcing the tap, and that the material is suitable for this hardened-grade tap. Check for adequate pilot hole size.
Difficulty starting the thread
Verify the pilot hole is the correct size and chamfered. Ensure the tap is perfectly perpendicular to the workpiece surface.
Poor thread quality (rough or inaccurate)
Clean the tap thoroughly, use sufficient lubrication, and ensure consistent rotation speed and pressure. Check for any damage to the tap's cutting edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This tap is designed for manual or machine threading operations. Ensure proper alignment with the pre-drilled hole to achieve a straight thread. Use appropriate cutting fluid for lubrication, especially when working with hardened materials, to prolong tool life and improve thread quality.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for use with the BGS 149 system. The M16 x 1.25 mm thread size makes it suitable for applications requiring this specific metric thread.
Care: After use, clean the tap thoroughly to remove any debris or metal shavings. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion, as carbon steel can be susceptible to rust. Occasional application of a light oil can help protect the tool.
