Hand Tap Set Art-Pol M16 x 1.50 mm, 2 pcs, metric thread

Art-Pol hand tap set contains two taps sized M16 x 1.50 mm designed for cutting and restoring internal metric threads. The set covers common workshop and maintenance needs where a precise M16 x 1.50 thread is required and is intended for manual operation using a tap wrench. The taps are suited to work in through-holes and blind holes depending on cutting sequence and application.

Advantages

The set includes two complementary taps that allow progressive cutting for accurate thread formation and reduced risk of tap breakage during manual tapping. Taps are sized for the M16 x 1.50 metric pitch, providing compatibility with standard fasteners of that dimension. The compact two-piece set is suitable for workshop benches and mobile repair kits, simplifying storage and transport while keeping the most commonly required sizes together.

Suitable for

• Cutting new internal M16 x 1.50 threads in metal components
• Repairing damaged or worn internal threads on machinery and automotive parts
• Manual tapping in through-holes and blind holes with appropriate technique
• Maintenance and onsite repair tasks requiring metric M16 x 1.50 fastener compatibility

Key specifications

• Thread size: M16 x 1.50 mm (metric)
• Number of pieces: 2 taps
• Intended use: manual hand tapping with tap wrench
• Applicable hole types: through-holes and blind holes (with correct tap selection and technique)
• Typical materials: steel and other common machinable metals (use appropriate cutting fluid)

How to use

Secure the workpiece and ensure the hole diameter matches the recommended drill size for an M16 x 1.50 thread. Mount the appropriate tap in a compatible tap wrench and apply cutting fluid to the tap and hole. Start the tap straight and advance using steady, even pressure, reversing periodically to break chips. Use the second tap to finish threads if the set includes a taper and second plug or bottoming tap; for blind holes, select the tap designed for finishing close to the bottom. After tapping, remove chips and inspect threads for correct form and fit with a mating bolt.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and cutting fluid. Match drill diameter to thread size, apply controlled manual force, and reverse frequently to avoid tap binding and breakage. For hardened or difficult-to-machine materials, consider specialist taps or professional machining.
