How to use

Select the appropriate tap or die for the required thread type and size, secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture, and ensure the hole or shaft is prepared to the correct size and chamfered where necessary. For tapping, fit the tap in the tap wrench, apply cutting oil, start the tap square to the hole and turn forward with periodic reverse turns to clear chips. For die cutting, mount the die in the die stock, apply cutting lubricant, align the die square to the shaft and thread by turning with steady pressure. After cutting, clean swarf from threads and inspect thread engagement with mating parts.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting fluid and moderate feed to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Match drill sizes to the tap chart for thread accuracy, clamp work securely to prevent movement, and replace damaged taps or dies to avoid workpiece damage. Store the set in its case to protect tooling and maintain organized access.
