Tap set Art-Pol M10x1.25 mm, manual taps, 2 pieces

Art-Pol manual tap set M10x1.25 mm is a compact two-piece tool set intended for cutting internal metric threads with a 1.25 mm pitch in metal and other machinable materials. Designed for hand use, the set provides the basic tooling required for creating or restoring M10x1.25 threaded holes in workshop, maintenance, and DIY repair environments. The taps are suitable for straightforward die-and-tap operations where controlled, manual tapping is preferred.

Advantages

The set includes two taps that cover the common needs for forming and finishing M10x1.25 internal threads by hand, offering ease of handling and compact storage. The tools are manufactured to standard metric thread dimensions to ensure compatibility with matching bolts and nuts. Their size and manual design allow for use in tight spaces or on-site repairs without requiring powered tapping equipment.

Suitable for

• Cutting or restoring M10x1.25 internal threads in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar machinable materials
• Workshop maintenance and mechanical repairs where manual tapping is preferred
• Small-scale metalworking projects and DIY repair tasks
• On-site service jobs and intermittent use where portability is important

Key specifications

• Thread size: M10 x 1.25 mm
• Set composition: 2 manual taps
• Intended use: cutting internal metric threads by hand
• Material compatibility: suitable for common machinable metals (steel, aluminum, cast iron) and similar materials
• Operation mode: hand tapping (manual)

How to use

Select the appropriate tap from the set and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Center the tap in the drilled hole that matches the recommended drill size for an M10x1.25 thread, apply suitable cutting fluid, and start tapping by hand using a T-handle or tap wrench. Advance the tap with steady, even turns, reversing occasionally to break chips and clear the flutes. Continue until the required thread depth is reached, then remove the tap while maintaining rotation to clear chips. Inspect the thread fit with a matching bolt or thread gauge.

Usage recommendations

Use the correct pilot drill size and appropriate cutting lubricant to prolong tool life and improve thread quality. Apply moderate, consistent force and reverse periodically to avoid tap breakage. For harder materials or frequent production use, consider using machine taps or higher-grade tooling suited to the workload.
