This metric tap and die set contains a tap wrench, 9 dies of varying sizes, 9 tapered taps and 9 `plug` style taps, along with two circular jigs for fitting taps into the tap wrench.

A tap (for cutting internal screw threads) is fitted into the tap wrench by using one of the circular jigs provided and then slowly turned into a pre-drilled hole just smaller than the diameter of the tap. The object or bolt containing the hole should be secured in a vice. This will start the threading process.

It is recommended to use a cutting lubricant such as Burr Life to aid the threading process. Please note the metric taps are; 1.0mm pitch 0.25 1.2mm pitch 0.25 1.4mm pitch 0.30 1.7mm pitch 0.30 2.0mm pitch 0.40 2.3mm pitch 0.40 2.6mm pitch 0.45 3.0mm pitch 0.50 The metric die threads included in this set are; 1.0mm 1.1mm 1.2mm 1.4mm 1.6mm 1.8mm 2.0mm 2.2mm 2.5mm
