Thread Tap Set Bituxx 3-piece M10 x 1.5 in polypropylene case

Bituxx three-piece thread tap set for M10 x 1.5 provides the tools required to create or restore internal metric threads in components and fasteners. The set contains three sequential taps—typically taper, plug and bottoming types—housed in a polypropylene case that protects the tools and keeps them organized for storage and transport. Designed for general workshop, maintenance and metalworking use, the set addresses standard M10 x 1.5 thread requirements in steel, castings and other machinable materials.

Advantages

The set offers a compact, protected storage solution with a durable polypropylene case that resists oil and common workshop contaminants. Each tap is ground to the nominal M10 x 1.5 profile to ensure consistent thread form and fit when used with appropriate cutting fluid and correct technique. Having three taps in sequence enables progressive cutting for reliable thread quality and reduced risk of thread damage in through and blind holes.

Suitable for

• General machinery and equipment maintenance
• Repairing damaged internal M10 x 1.5 threads
• Fabrication and metalworking in workshops and garages
• Preparing threaded holes in steel, aluminium alloys and cast materials

Key specifications

• Thread size: M10 x 1.5 (metric)
• Set composition: three taps for progressive threading
• Material: high-speed tool steel or similar hard tool material suitable for cutting threads
• Storage case: polypropylene (PP) protective case
• Intended application: internal threading in through and blind holes

How to use

Select the appropriate tap from the set and secure the workpiece. Use a suitable tap wrench and apply cutting fluid to the hole and tap to reduce friction and improve chip evacuation. Start with the first (taper) tap to establish the thread, follow with the intermediate (plug) tap to deepen the profile, and finish with the bottoming tap where a full thread close to the bottom of a blind hole is required. Turn the tap slowly, backing off periodically to break chips and clear debris. Inspect the threads with a mating bolt or thread gauge to confirm correct fit.

Usage recommendations

For best results, clamp the workpiece securely, use appropriate cutting lubricant for the material being machined, and maintain perpendicular alignment between tap and hole. Avoid excessive force; if a tap binds, reverse slightly to clear chips before continuing. Clean and lightly oil the taps before storage to prevent corrosion.
