Tap and Die Set Bituxx JBC-M024-1, 24 pieces, metric M5–M12

Bituxx JBC-M024-1 is a 24-piece tap and die set designed for metric threads from M5 to M12. The set includes a selection of taps and dies intended for cutting, repairing and restoring internal and external threads in metal and other machinable materials. Packaged for workshop use, it offers a compact assortment suitable for general maintenance, fitting and fabrication tasks where standard metric thread sizes are required.

Advantages

The set provides a broad range of commonly used metric sizes in a single compact kit, reducing the need to source individual taps or dies. Tools are organized for convenient access and storage, supporting efficient workflow in repair and assembly operations. The collection covers both internal and external threading needs, enabling thread cutting, cleaning and repair without frequent tool changes. Materials and finishes are chosen to balance durability and cost for general workshop applications.

Suitable for

• Cutting new metric threads in metal parts
• Repairing damaged internal threads in mechanical components
• Restoring external threads on bolts and shafts
• General maintenance, fitting and fabrication work in a workshop
• Hobby and DIY metalworking projects requiring standard metric threads

Key specifications

• Number of pieces: 24
• Thread standard: metric
• Thread size range: M5 to M12
• Includes taps for internal threads and dies for external threads
• Compact storage case for organization and transport

How to use

Select the correct tap or die for the required thread size (M5–M12) and secure the workpiece properly to prevent movement. For tapping, use appropriate cutting fluid, align the tap perpendicular to the hole, and turn slowly while backing off periodically to clear chips. For threading with dies, mount the die in a suitable holder, apply cutting lubricant, start the die square to the shaft or bolt, and advance with steady pressure, reversing occasionally to clear chips. Inspect the finished thread for correct fit and clean any swarf before assembly. Follow standard safety precautions including eye protection and secure clamping of parts.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluid appropriate for the material being worked (e.g., oil for steel, specialized lubricants for aluminum) to extend tool life and improve thread quality. For damaged or hard-to-start threads, consider using a pilot drill or start the tap with a thread-chasing tool. Store tools dry and clean after use to prevent corrosion and maintain performance.
