The set includes taper taps, plug taps, dies in various BSF sizes (3/16" to 1/2"), a tap holder, and a die holder.
This set can be used on a variety of materials, including steel and other metals, as long as the correct cutting techniques and lubrication are used.
Each tap and die is etched with its size for easy identification.
Use a cutting oil suitable for metalworking to lubricate the taps and dies and improve their performance and lifespan.
Store the set in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion. Clean the tools after each use and apply a light coat of oil.
The tap holder is used to securely hold the taps while threading.
The die holder is used to securely hold the dies while cutting or recutting external threads.
Ensure the correct size tap or die is being used and that it's aligned properly. Apply adequate lubrication. If the issue persists, the material may be too hard for the tool.
Use the correct size tap or die, and apply even pressure during the threading process. If repairing existing threads, clean the area thoroughly before attempting to re-thread.
