Troubleshooting

Tap breaks during use.

Ensure you are using the correct size drill for pre-drilling. Apply adequate cutting oil. Avoid applying excessive force; go slowly and steadily.

Threads are damaged or stripped.

Make sure you are using the correct size and type of tap or die for the job and that you're starting the tap or die straight. Ensure the workpiece is securely held, and the tap is perpendicular.
