Taps & Dies
Taps cut internal threads in drilled holes, and dies cut external threads on rods and bolts. Together they let a user make or restore threads by hand. They are often bought as matched sets covering the common thread sizes in a workshop.
They are used in machine shops, repair work and fabrication. Match the thread size and pitch exactly, and consider the material you are cutting and the choice between a full set and single sizes.
- Threading holes in machined parts and plates
- Restoring worn bolt and stud threads
