Thread Tap Set Art-Pol M16 x 1.25 mm, set of 2 taps

Art-Pol thread tap set M16 x 1.25 mm, set of 2 taps is designed for creating and repairing internal metric threads with a 1.25 mm pitch. The set contains two sequential taps that allow controlled cutting of new threads or restoration of worn threads in metal parts, fittings and mechanical assemblies. Suitable for use by hand with a tap wrench or in machine tapping operations, the tools are intended for workshop, repair and maintenance tasks that require accurate M16 x 1.25 internal threads.

Advantages

The two-tap set provides a standard progression for thread cutting, reducing the risk of tool breakage and improving thread quality. Taps are suitable for manual and mechanical use, enabling versatility in workshop and on-site repair work. Their design supports precise alignment and reliable thread geometry for repeatable results in metalworking applications.

Suitable for

• Cutting new M16 x 1.25 internal threads in metal components
• Restoring damaged or worn M16 x 1.25 threads in fittings and assemblies
• Workshop and maintenance tasks requiring standard metric threads
• Manual tapping with a tap wrench or machine tapping operations

Key specifications

• Thread size: M16
• Thread pitch: 1.25 mm
• Number of taps: 2 (progressive cutting sequence)
• Intended material: metal (suitable for common ferrous and non-ferrous metals)
• Application: internal thread cutting and restoration

How to use

Select the appropriate tap and secure the workpiece in a stable vise or fixture. For manual use, mount the tap in a compatible tap wrench, align perpendicular to the hole, and apply steady pressure while turning clockwise to cut the thread. Use the first tap to establish the thread profile and follow with the second tap for finishing and achieving the correct thread tolerance. Periodically reverse the tap slightly to break chips and apply cutting fluid to reduce friction and improve chip evacuation. For machine tapping, ensure correct spindle alignment, appropriate speed and feed, and use suitable coolant as required by the workpiece material.

Usage recommendations

Prepare a properly sized pilot hole before tapping, use cutting fluid when working with metal, and avoid excessive force to reduce the risk of tap breakage. Inspect threaded holes after tapping for clean threads and correct fit with mating bolts or studs.
