Thread Tap Set Art-Pol M16 x 2.00 mm, set of 2 taps

Art-Pol thread tap set for creating or restoring internal metric threads M16 x 2.00 mm. The set contains two taps intended for sequential roughing and finishing operations on metal and other machinable materials. Designed for manual use with a tap wrench or for machine use in drilling/tapping heads, this set is suitable for workshop, maintenance and repair tasks where reliable M16×2.00 internal threads are required.

Advantages

The two-piece configuration provides a dedicated roughing tap to remove material quickly and a finishing tap to produce accurate pitch and a clean thread profile. Hardened cutting flutes and precisely ground thread geometry enable consistent cutting performance and prolonged tool life. The taps are compatible with common cutting fluids and cooling methods to reduce heat and improve chip evacuation during use.

Suitable for

• Creating new M16 x 2.00 internal threads in metal components
• Restoring damaged or worn M16 x 2.00 threads
• Maintenance and repair work in workshops and industrial settings
• Hand tapping with a wrench or machine tapping in production and prototyping

Key specifications

• Thread form: Metric ISO thread, 2.00 mm pitch
• Thread size: M16 internal
• Set composition: 2 taps (roughing and finishing)
• Material compatibility: suitable for steel, cast iron, aluminum and other machinable metals
• Intended use: manual and machine tapping applications

How to use

Select the correct pilot drill for an M16 x 2.00 internal thread and prepare the hole to the recommended diameter for the chosen material. Secure the workpiece and use a suitable tap holder or tap wrench for manual operations, or mount the tap in a machine tapping head for powered tapping. Begin with the roughing tap to remove the bulk of the material, using cutting fluid and reversing rotation or backing off regularly to break chips. Follow with the finishing tap to achieve final thread form and dimensional accuracy; clean chips from the flutes between passes and inspect the thread fit with a mating bolt.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being machined and apply light, steady pressure when hand tapping. For machine tapping, ensure correct spindle speed and feed to avoid tap breakage. Regularly inspect taps for wear and replace when cutting performance or thread quality degrades.
