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

This Hand Tap & Die Set includes 2 pieces of Metric Hand Taps: 1 piece of Taper Tap and 1 piece of Plug Tap. The thread size is M9 x 1.25 (right-hand). The total length of the taps is 71mm / 2.8", with a thread length of 22mm / 0.87" and a square shank width of 5mm / 0.2". The taps have an accuracy of H2.

The set also includes 1 piece of Round Die, with the same thread size of M9 x 1.25 (right-hand). The outside diameter of the die is 25mm / 0.98", and the thickness is 9mm / 0.35".

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 ensures good cutting performance.

The Taper Tap is designed to start the thread and guide 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 of the tools is lubricated with grease to prevent rust.

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

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

By following these tips and utilizing the features of this Hand Tap & Die Set, users can achieve clean, precise threads and extend the lifespan of the tools.
