Description
The Baer Heli Coil Tap No. 12 x 24 UNC is built for professionals who demand dependable, long-lasting thread repair and reinforcement. This bottoming tap (STI) is purposefully engineered to pair with Heli-Coil wire thread inserts, delivering clean, precise threads that restore original strength in a variety of materials and applications.
Why this tap stands out
- Bottoming geometry for complete engagement—designed to cut threads all the way to the bottom of blind holes, ensuring full-depth threads and reliable insert seating.
- UNC No. 12 x 24 threading—a common, widely used size in automotive, machinery, and industrial equipment, making it a go-to choice for repairs and reinforcements.
- HSSG-grade construction—crafted from durable high-speed steel with a ground finish to resist wear, stay sharp longer, and deliver consistent results, even on tougher substrates.
- Optimized for insert installations—taps are tuned to create threads that align perfectly with Heli-Coil wires, promoting clean seating and strong, repeatable performance.
Ideal use scenarios
- Automotive repairs where threaded holes have worn or stripped, such as engine blocks, cylinder heads, and transmission housings.
- Industrial equipment and machinery that require durable, reliable thread repairs to prevent future failures.
- DIY and professional shop environments where quick, repeatable thread restoration is essential for productivity.
Practical guidance for best results
- Use a quality cutting oil to reduce friction, extend tool life, and achieve smoother thread formation.
- Align the tap carefully with the hole to maintain true thread pitch and prevent cross-threading.
- Turn steadily clockwise until full depth is reached, then back off slightly to relieve pressure before continuing insert installation.
- Inspect the repaired hole after tapping and before inserting the coil to ensure clean, burr-free threads.
The Baer Heli Coil Tap is a precise, durable solution for restoring thread integrity and extending the life of critical fastener holes. When you need dependable, repeatable results with Heli-Coil inserts, this bottoming tap delivers the performance you rely on in demanding repair work.
