Taps and dies are essential tools for ensuring precise cuts in metals, woods and other materials. Common types include:
Straight Hand Taps
These taps have a straight flute and are generally used to cut internal threads. They come in a variety of sizes and materials, depending on the application.
Taper Hand Taps
Taper hand taps are used to cut threads on component parts and feature a tapered flute for easy insertion into workpieces.
Plug Hand Taps
These taps have a large diameter and are normally used in thread repair operations. They can also be used for re-threading holes when original thread sizes have been damaged.
Bottoming Hand Taps
These taps are designed for cutting threads in blind holes and feature a short flute length to prevent them from bottoming out.
Dies & Thread Chasers
Thread chaser sets are used to repair damaged or corroded threads, while die stocks allow you to cut accurate and clean threads. Both are essential for ensuring a secure fit for components or tools.
