Muzerdo 131PCS Sae and Metric Coated Bearing Steel Tap and Die Rethreading Kit
Muzerdo tap and die set is one of those toolboxes that are not immediately intuitive to have but become essential to your work once you have it. It does not matter if you are a mechanic, a craftsman, a metal or woodworker, or even a DIY enthusiast, a tap and die set would be remarkably useful to you. Taps and dies are cutting tools used to create threads on components such as screws, bolts, nuts and to create a threaded hole to screw components into..
A tap is a threaded tool that cuts or forms threads in the female portion of a mating pair. Therefore, a tap will create threads in the inside of a hole. On the other hand, a die is a threaded tool that cuts or forms threads in the male portion of a mating pair. Therefore, a die will create threads on a cylindrical rod's surface to create a screw or bolt. Both a tap and a die create new threads or repair damaged threads..
Our tap and die set consists of taps, dies, and drill bits of different sizes for various applications. Included in the set are handles for turning. The collection also consists of screw extractors and charts to determine the correct drill and taps to match the thread size and pitch. Some sets may contain twist-lock guides, coarse and fine taps, and other tools at a higher cost..
Application: Taps and dies are metal threading tools used to cut and restore internal and external threads precisely. A tap is used to form the female component of the assembly, as in the case of a nut or socket, a die is used on the male component, as in a screw or bolt. In other words, a Tap is used to create the internal threads in a hole for use with a threaded fastener and a die is used to make or repair external threading on a round rod, screw, or bolt..
Thread Pitch Gauge: Thread pitch gauges are used as a reference tool in determining the pitch of a thread that is on a screw or in a tapped hole. This tool is not used as a precision measuring instrument, rather it allows the user to determine the profile of the given thread and quickly categorize the thread by shape and pitch..
