Uxcell 3pcs Metric Hand Tap and Die Set for Thread Repair

The 2-piece Metric Hand Taps (1 Taper Tap and 1 Plug Tap) feature a thread size of M15 x 1 (right-hand) with a total length of 92mm / 3.62", a thread length of 24mm / 0.94", and a square shank width of 10mm / 0.39". They have an accuracy rating of H2. The 1-piece Round Die has the same M15 x 1 (right-hand) thread size, an outside diameter of 38mm / 1.5", and a thickness of 10mm / 0.39".

The M2 (6542) high-speed steel taps offer high hardness, good toughness, wear resistance, and excellent cutting performance. The 9SiCr alloy tool steel die provides excellent hardness, toughness, and wear resistance for durability. The uncoated tap and die set delivers good cutting performance.

The Taper Tap starts the thread and guides it into the workpiece, commonly used when tapping through holes. The Plug Tap creates deeper threads than the Taper Tap, making it suitable for through-hole and blind-hole applications. The straight flute taps provide fast downward chip removal and clear threads without burrs. The Round Die features a conical locking hole, ensuring strong locking and preventing looseness.

This Metric Tap and Die Set can be used to re-thread damaged or jammed threads, or to create new threads. It is suitable for tapping through or shallow holes in mild steels, aluminum, iron, copper, and hard plastic. The surface is lubricated with grease to prevent rust.

The tap and die set is primarily designed for hand use. The thread tap is used with a tap wrench, and the Round Die is used with a die stock. During the tapping process, it is recommended to apply appropriate cutting lubricant or oil to achieve higher quality threads and more durable tools.

To ensure successful tapping, it is important to maintain proper alignment, use the correct tapping technique, and apply consistent pressure while turning the tap. Periodically reversing the tap while tapping can help break up chips and remove debris from the flutes, preventing clogging and ensuring smooth operation.
