Tap set Art-Pol M22x2.50 mm, metric thread taps, 2 pieces

Set of two Art-Pol metric taps sized M22 x 2.50 mm for cutting or restoring internal threads. The kit contains two sequential taps intended to form and finish M22 x 2.50 internal threads in metal and other compatible materials. These metric thread taps are suitable for use with a hand tap wrench or a machine tapping tool when machine use is appropriate and the material and setup meet safety recommendations. The set is intended for maintenance, fabrication and repair tasks where a precise internal metric thread is required.

Advantages

The two-piece set provides the necessary progression from initial cutting to finishing without requiring additional tap purchases. Art-Pol metric taps are manufactured to deliver consistent thread geometry, enabling repeatable fit with mating bolts and components. Because the taps are designed for both hand and machine use (where applicable), they offer flexibility across workshop and field applications. The compact kit simplifies storage and selection when working on M22 x 2.50 thread repairs or installations.

Suitable for

• Cutting new M22 x 2.50 internal threads in metal and suitable non-ferrous materials
• Restoring damaged or worn M22 x 2.50 threads during maintenance and repair
• Workshop and field service tasks requiring metric internal threads
• Use with manual tap wrench or appropriate tapping machine setups

Key specifications

• Thread size: M22 x 2.50 (metric)
• Number of pieces: 2 taps (progressive cutting/finishing set)
• Intended application: internal thread cutting and restoration
• Compatible materials: metals and other materials specified by tap material and hardness limits
• Drive method: hand tap wrench or machine tapping where appropriate

How to use

Select the appropriate tap from the set for the initial cutting operation, typically beginning with the taper or intermediate tap and finishing with the second tap to achieve the final thread profile. Secure the workpiece, center-drill and drill the recommended pilot hole for M22 x 2.50 thread tapping. Use cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to reduce friction and extend tap life. Apply steady, controlled rotation and periodic reverse motion to break chips when tapping by hand; follow machine manufacturer guidelines for speeds and feed when using a tapping machine. Clean chips from the hole between passes and inspect the thread fit with a mating bolt or gauge.

Usage recommendations

Use the set with a correctly sized pilot drill and suitable cutting lubricant. For hard or abrasive materials, confirm tap material and hardness limits before machine tapping; reduce speed and increase lubrication as needed. When restoring damaged threads, remove debris and inspect the hole for cracks or deformation before proceeding. Store taps dry and protected to avoid corrosion and maintain thread geometry.
