uxcell 3pcs Metric Hand Tap and Die Set for M10 x 1 Thread Repair

2-Piece Metric Hand Taps Set (1 Taper Tap, 1 Plug Tap)

This hand taps set includes two crucial tools: one taper tap and one plug tap, designed for precise threading applications. The taps have a thread size of M10 x 1 (Right Hand), a total length of 75mm (2.95 inches), and a thread length measuring 24mm (0.94 inches). The square shank width measures 7mm (0.28 inches), with an accuracy classified as H21.

Additionally, the set features a round die with the same thread size of M10 x 1 (Right Hand). Its outside diameter measures 30mm (1.18 inches) and has a thickness of 8mm (0.31 inches). The M2 (6542) high-speed steel taps are praised for their hardness, durability, and excellent cutting performance, while the 9SiCr alloy tool steel die offers outstanding toughness and wear resistance, ensuring long-lasting use. This uncoated tap and die set provides consistent cutting performance.

Tap Functions: - Taper Tap: Ideal for initiating threads, taper taps are commonly employed for tapping through holes, guiding the tool into the workpiece effectively. - Plug Tap: Known for generating deeper threads, plug taps are suitable for both through-hole and blind-hole applications.

The straight flute design of these taps helps facilitate quick downward chip removal, producing clear threads free from burrs. The round die is equipped with a conical locking hole, ensuring strong locking and preventing slippage.

Versatile Applications: This metric tap and die set can be used to re-thread damaged or jammed threads, as well as to create new threads when necessary. It is versatile enough to function effectively on various materials, including mild steels, aluminum, iron, copper, and hard plastics. The surface of the tools is treated with grease to further protect against rust, maintaining performance over time.

User-Friendly Design: Primarily designed for hand use, the set requires a tap wrench for the thread tap and a die stock for the round die. To achieve high-quality threads and enhance tool longevity, it is advisable to apply an appropriate cutting lubricant or oil throughout the tapping process.

Helpful Tips: To ensure a successful threading experience, make sure to maintain proper alignment and utilize the correct tapping techniques. Applying consistent pressure while turning the tap and die is crucial for achieving clean and precise threads. Occasionally reversing the tap during the process will help break up any accumulated chips and remove debris from the flutes, effectively preventing clogging and promoting smooth operation.

By following these guidelines, users can maximize the effectiveness of their hand tap and die set, ensuring professional-quality results for a variety of threading tasks.
