FAQs

What materials can I use this set on?

This set is designed for use on mild steel and aluminum.

What is the purpose of the screw-pitch gauge?

The screw-pitch gauge is used to identify the thread pitch of a screw or hole, ensuring you select the correct tap or die.

How do I use the die holder?

Place the die in the holder, ensuring it's secure. Use the holder to turn the die and cut or clean the threads.

How do I select the right tap or die size?

Use the screw-pitch gauge to determine the thread pitch and diameter. Then, select the corresponding tap or die from the set.

What is the best way to store the tools?

Store the taps and dies in the provided EVA insert tray to keep them organized and protected.

What type of cutting oil should I use?

Use a cutting oil specifically designed for metalworking. This will help reduce friction and prevent damage.

What are BSP threads?

BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads are a type of parallel thread commonly used in plumbing and other applications.

Troubleshooting

Tap or die is difficult to turn.

Apply more cutting oil. Check that you are using the correct size and the tap or die is aligned correctly. If the issue persists, the threads may be damaged.

Threads are damaged or cross-threaded.

Stop immediately and realign the tap or die. Use the correct size and work slowly. If the damage is significant, you may need to re-cut the threads with a larger size or replace the component.

Tools are rusting.

Clean the rust with a wire brush, apply oil, and store in a dry place. Regularly check the tools.
