MF | METRIC FINE TAP SET

About this item:

• Chrome Alloy Metric Fine Hand Tap Set designed for both cleaning existing threads and creating new female threads in non-ferrous metals and plastics.
• Constructed from durable chrome alloy, these taps offer reliable performance but are not suitable for precision, safety, or critical thread applications.
• Features a 60-degree metric fine thread angle with a flat crest and clearance at the root, ensuring excellent engagement between external and internal threads.
• Enhanced with a larger root radius and lower thread height to facilitate easier screw thread processing while increasing thread strength.
• The major diameter and pitch of external threads are specified by straightforward numerical values, typically measured in millimeters for metric compatibility.
• Includes a variety of tap types to suit different threading needs:
  • Bottoming Taps: With a lead of two threads, ideal for minimizing thread run-out when tapping to the bottom of blind holes.
  • Taper Taps: Featuring a lead of eight threads, perfect as starting taps for difficult or high-precision holes.
  • Intermediate Taps: Having a lead of four threads, commonly used 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.
