Tap and Die Set MILWAUKEE S-TP110AS — metric M2–M18, 110 pieces

The MILWAUKEE S-TP110AS — metric M2–M18, 110 pieces is a comprehensive tap and die set designed to cut, repair and restore metric internal and external threads from M2 to M18. The kit includes a wide range of taps, dies and the necessary accessories to handle thread cutting in metal and other machinable materials, making it suitable for workshop, maintenance and on-site mechanical repairs in automotive, industrial and DIY contexts.

Advantages

This tap and die set provides a full range of metric sizes from M2 to M18 in a single, organised kit, enabling quick selection of the correct tool for common thread sizes. The included accessories such as tap handles, die stocks and alignment guides allow controlled cutting and safer use. Components are designed for repeated use in repair and fabrication tasks, offering consistent thread profiles and reliable fitment when restoring or creating threads.

Suitable for

• Cutting new metric threads in workshop fabrication and metalworking.
• Repairing damaged or corroded internal and external threads on machinery and automotive parts.
• Maintenance tasks in industrial settings where a range of metric thread sizes is needed.
• DIY projects that require precise metric thread cutting and restoration.

When it may not be suitable

This kit is focused on metric thread sizes M2 through M18 and does not include imperial (inch) taps or dies, so it is not suitable where only imperial threads are required. It is intended for manual thread cutting and repair; for high-volume production or where power-threading machines are standard, a dedicated machine tooling system may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Thread range: metric sizes M2 to M18
• Number of pieces: 110
• Includes: assortment of taps and dies plus manual handles and basic accessories for alignment and cutting
• Material compatibility: suitable for use on common machinable metals and other workpiece materials where hand tapping/die-cutting is appropriate

How to use

Select the appropriate tap or die for the desired metric thread size and secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture to prevent movement. For internal threads, use a tap with a tap wrench, start the cut carefully to ensure correct alignment, apply cutting fluid as required and advance with even turns, backing off periodically to clear chips. For external threads, mount the workpiece in a die stock, center the die, use cutting fluid and rotate evenly while maintaining alignment. After cutting, clean chips and test the thread fit with a mating bolt or nut, then deburr edges as needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm you need metric thread sizes M2–M18; imperial sizes are not included.
• Check that the kit contents match the specific sizes and quantities required for your typical jobs.
• Consider the materials you will be working with and whether hand tapping/die-cutting is appropriate for those materials.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being worked, secure workpieces to prevent movement, and ensure alignment before starting cuts. Regularly clear chips and inspect tools for wear to maintain accurate thread profiles and prolong tool life.
