The BlueSpot 6pc Tap Set is suitable for use on a variety of materials, including steel, aluminum, and some plastics. Always consider the material's hardness and suitability before tapping.
The T-shape holder provides a comfortable and secure grip for turning the taps, making it easier to create or repair threads. This ensures better control and precision during the tapping process.
Select the tap size that matches the required thread diameter (e.g., M6, M8, M10, M12) for the fastener you intend to use. Ensure the pre-drilled hole is the correct size for the tap.
Cutting oil lubricates the tap and the workpiece, reducing friction. It helps to prevent the tap from breaking, improves the thread finish, and extends the life of the tap.
Store the tap set in a clean, dry place to prevent rust and corrosion. Apply a light coat of oil to the taps after cleaning, if possible.
If a tap breaks, stop immediately. You can try to remove the tap using a tap extractor. If that doesn't work, you might need to consult a professional.
This set is specifically for metric threads (M6-M12). It is not designed for imperial threads.
Ensure the correct size tap is being used and that the hole is properly drilled. Apply cutting oil, and use slow and even pressure when tapping. If the tap is still breaking, consider using a tap extractor tool.
Check the tap for damage and ensure the correct tap size is being used. Apply cutting oil, and make sure the tap is perpendicular to the hole. If using the T-handle, ensure it is firmly secured.
