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

This metric hand tap and die set includes two pieces: one taper tap and one plug tap. The threads are sized at M6 x 0.75 (right-hand) with a total length of 70mm (2.76 inches) and a thread length of 22mm (0.87 inches). The width of the square shank measures 5mm (0.2 inches), and it boasts an accuracy of H21. The round die mirrors the thread size of M6 x 0.75, with an outside diameter of 20mm (0.79 inches) and thickness of 7mm (0.28 inches).

Crafted from M2 (6542) high-speed steel, these taps exhibit exceptional hardness, toughness, wear resistance, and cutting performance. The accompanying round die, made from 9SiCr alloy tool steel, ensures similar durability with outstanding hardness and toughness. The uncoated design of the taps and die enhances cutting performance effectively.

The taper tap initiates and guides the threading process, making it particularly useful for tapping through holes. Meanwhile, the plug tap is ideal for creating deeper threads suitable for blind holes and through-hole applications. Designed for efficiency, straight flute taps facilitate quick chip removal and produce clean threads free from burrs. Additionally, the round die is equipped with a conical locking hole, ensuring a strong grip that prevents loosening.

This metric tap and die set serves multiple purposes, including the re-threading of damaged or jammed threads and the creation of new threads. It is suitable for various materials such as mild steel, aluminum, iron, copper, and hard plastic, whether in through or shallow holes. The surface of the tools is lubricated with grease to provide protection against rust.

Designed primarily for hand use, both the tap and die require specific tools: the taper tap is utilized with a tap wrench, while the round die pairs with a die stock. To achieve superior quality threads and extend tool longevity, it is important to apply the appropriate cutting lubricant or oil during tapping.

For optimal results, ensure proper alignment when using the taps and dies. Employ the correct tapping technique and maintain consistent pressure while turning the tools to achieve clean and precise threads. Periodically reversing the tap while working will help to break up chips and remove debris from the flutes, thus preventing clogging and ensuring smooth operation.

In summary, this hand tap and die set includes taper and plug taps with a thread size of M6 x 0.75, offering both versatility and ease of use. With features that prioritize clear threading and effective chip removal, this set is ideal for various applications. Always remember to apply cutting lubricants for the best possible outcomes, and follow proper techniques to maintain tool integrity and achieve clean threads.
