Although I've only used them on aluminum extrusions, these taps are dependable for me. I have several different sets of taps, but these are the ones I always find myself reaching for. The flute evacuates chips easily and the taps are clean and accurate.

I'm using these to cut threads in prototype 3D printed plastic parts. I used to just force-thread screws into undersized holes. But threading them beforehand seems to actually increase the strength of the assembly, while also making it easier to screw/unscrew parts multiple times.

Perhaps there is a trick to using these types of taps, so if there is, you'll want to take my review with a grain of salt. I checked these on some nuts and found them to be very difficult to thread in. They clearly preferred to go in crooked, rather than thread on squarely. After running them through (I tried both a 4 and a 5mm) the newly refreshed threads gave a very loose fit to the matching bolts. I'm confident that I didn't cross thread these with the taps, they are just that much bigger than the nuts and bolts I have.You'll probably want to check some other's results in using these, but for me, they were difficult to use and not true to size.

Machining look good on the part finish look good. However the 8mmx1.25 snapped... I was taking it slow and not putting too much pressure on the bed and using tap magic cutting oil. Looking at the two broken pieces there were a few voids and air bubbles in the metal...Maybe I got a bad on in the lot?Had to finish the project using an old harbor freight tap. It did not break but it took dame forever. 1/4 rotation brake chip and repeat for a very long time.

For general purpose thread cutting, these tools are really only suitable for sheet metal or other thin parts. You can’t blind-tap a hole with these - the drill has to exit the hole before the thread-cutting portion engages.But I find these particularly handy for 3d-printed plastic parts that need a true thread but don’t need a metal insert. I used to just make the hole slightly undersize and let the machine screw cut its own threads. But an oversized screw will often split the plastic parts. Using these tools in a drill (or preferably a low-speed electric screwdriver), you can cut threads easily in PLA, ABS or PETG materials; there is little risk of splitting your part, and you end up with a good thread for assembling 3d-printed components.The metric threads included in this set are the common sizes for small parts. These are a great addition to a 3d printing setup.

I often use "cheap", or more accurately, "low cost" taps for working with wood, plastic, and softer metals like aluminum. I assumed these would be fine for that, as most are, even the lowest quality taps I've owned usually are. I'm currently working on an old dirtbike, sort of a restoration project. There's a few holes on the frame with damage/stripped thread, some I needed to just clean up, some I drilled up to the next size and re-tapped them. Even the hardened steel nuts that are welded to the frame proved no match for these taps though! They have worked very well and show no signs of wear yet. This is the first taps I've used with spiral flutes, and I must say they do tend to clean out better than the usual straight flutes do. You should still do the typical "1/4 turn in, 1/8th turn out, 1/4 in, etc." dance with them to keep them cleaned out while cutting, but I never needed to stop and back the tap all the way out to clear out the flutes with these. The metal shavings from cutting tend to work themselves out as you cut. Nice! I have no complaints!

So.... I prefer this type "spiral tap" vs straight flute taps every time..... why you ask? Simply because they do everything a straight flute tap does....and then some. Have a hole you want to tap... if its a simple hole either will do. If it has inconsistencies like cross drilled holes...or unsupported sides spiral taps will still perform well when straight flutes will wander or jamb.These particular ones are slick and have almost a sheerness to the surface that lets them cleanly cut without much resistance. The flutes leave an appropriate amount of thickness to the web area and provide a nice strong tool.I use these regularly on mild steel, 304 and 316 stainless, and aluminum with good results
