MF | METRIC FINE CONDUIT TAP SET

About this item:

• Chrome Alloy Conduit (Metric Fine) Hand Tap Set designed for versatile threading applications.
• Ideal for use as thread chasers to clean existing threads or to create new female threads in non-ferrous metals and plastics.
• Constructed from chrome alloy, these taps are durable but not recommended for precision, safety, or critical thread creation.
• Features a 60-degree metric fine thread angle with a flat crest and clearance at the root, ensuring smooth engagement between external and internal threads.
• Larger root radius and lower thread height facilitate easy screw thread processing while enhancing thread strength.
• The major diameter and pitch of external threads are specified by a simple numerical value, commonly measured in millimeters.
• The set includes Bottoming, Taper, and Intermediate taps:
  • Bottoming Taps: Lead of two threads, used to minimize thread run-out when tapping to the bottom of a blind hole.
  • Taper Taps: Lead of eight threads, ideal as starting taps for difficult or high-precision holes.
  • Intermediate Taps: Lead of four threads, suitable for general-purpose applications to cut threads true to a pre-drilled pilot hole.
• Bottoming taps are typically used after Taper or Intermediate taps to complete the threading process.
