Information
Taps can be divided into straight flute thread taps, spiral flute thread taps, spiral point thread taps and thread forming taps. They are also divided into hand taps and machine taps according to the usage.
Hand taps are operated by tap wrenches. Machine taps are suggested to be used with tap collets with overload protection. Recommended feed rate: General steel: 6-15m/min; harder steel: 5-10m/min; stainless steel: 2-7m/min; cast iron: 8-10m/min.
Extra Long Thread Taps
Straight Flute Tap
Provides rapid downward chip removal to achieve efficient thread cutting, suitable for processing through holes or shallow holes.
6542 (M2) High Speed Steel
6542 high-speed steel metric taps offer high hardness, good toughness, wear resistance, and excellent cutting performance.
Uncoated Taps
Feature just the base substrate without any additional coatings, great for a wide range of applications.
Machine Taps
- Clear threads without burrs, right hand tapping direction.
- Used with tapping machines, drilling machines, milling machines, CNC.
- Drill the holes with a twist drill bit first, then tap with a thread tap.
- The tapping angle should be 90 degrees vertical and stable.
Wide Applications
Thread taps create new threads or re-thread damaged or jammed threads. Widely used for most metals, iron plate, copper, zinc, alloy steel, abrasive steel, A3 steel, stainless steel, etc..
Add proper tapping oil for higher quality internal threads and more durable taps. The tapping depth should not exceed 1.5 times the diameter of the tap (for example, the diameter M5x0.8 is about 5mm, and the depth should not exceed 7.5mm.)
Tips
Hand use or electric drill use is easy to cause breakage to the tap, so it is not recommended. Cutting oil is lubrication, cooling and anti-sticking. Be sure to select the appropriate cutting oil for complex tapping process and apply anti-rust oil for maintenance after use.
Control speed according to material hardness. The higher the hardness, the slower the speed. Fast speed with small torque; slow speed with high torque. The force must be uniform in tapping operations.

Just as expected.

Seems to be sufficient quality to get the job done. It was a somewhat easy process to order but, I was searching for other items and was not able to inquire if they had what I was looking for. Ended up finding it elsewhere. Easy to buy what they offer but, wasn’t easy to search and ask questions.

Professional Machinist here.I had to thread the tap through an existing hole to continue the thread into a metal adapter i added to the back side of my motor. The 4 holes didn't line up perfectly so i was worried that the tap would break but it was very strong and got the job done. Granted i was tapping aluminum but i was really cranking on it.

Worked perfectly. Had to tap the barrel adjuster brackets on my aluminum road bicycle.
