This kit is specifically designed for 3/16" x 24 BSW (British Standard Whitworth) threads.
No, this kit is only compatible with 3/16" x 24 BSW threads. You would need a different kit for metric or other thread standards.
The kit includes stainless steel helicoil inserts, known for their strength and durability.
The kit includes 10 x 3/16" x 24 BSW inserts.
The kit contains a HSS drill bit, HSS thread tap, insert installation tool, tang breaking tool, 2mm hex key, and 10 inserts.
While designed for professional use, it can be used by home users with some mechanical aptitude. Following instructions carefully is recommended.
The kit comes in a blow-molded case, which is ideal for keeping all components organized, protected, and ready for transport.
Ensure the drill bit is sharp and properly seated in the drill chuck. Use cutting fluid or oil during drilling to lubricate and cool the bit.
Apply consistent, even pressure and a slight backing-off motion every half turn to clear chips. Ensure the hole is drilled to the correct depth and diameter for the tap.
Verify that the tapped hole is clean and free of debris. Ensure you are using the correct installation tool and that it is properly engaged with the insert.
Ensure the tang is positioned correctly for the tool to strike. A slight tap with a small hammer may be needed after engaging the tool.
Setup: Ensure you have the correct thread size (3/16" x 24 BSW). Identify the damaged area and prepare your workspace. Follow the steps outlined in the performance section for drilling, tapping, and inserting.
Compatibility: This kit is specifically designed for 3/16" x 24 BSW (British Standard Whitworth) threads. It is not compatible with Metric, UNC, UNF, or other thread standards.
Care: After each use, clean all tools with a dry cloth to remove debris. Store the drill bit and tap carefully to maintain their cutting edges. Keep the helicoil inserts in their designated slots within the case to prevent loss or damage. Apply a light oil to metal components if storing for extended periods to prevent rust.
