Baer Heli Coil Tap - Wire Thread Insert - Spiral Point Tap (STI) - Metric - M14 x 2

The Baer Heli Coil Tap is your go-to tool for durable, high-precision thread repairs and reinforcements. Designed for the exacting needs of modern workshops, this spiral point tap (STI) in metric form—M14 x 2—delivers clean, true threads that form the foundation for reliable Heli-Coil inserts and long-lasting fastener connections.

Why this Heli Coil Tap stands out

• Precision-ground geometry ensures straight, accurately pitched threads every time, reducing cross-threading and helping you coax existing holes back to factory specs without guesswork.
• Spiral point (STI) flute design facilitates smooth chip evacuation and cooler cutting, which translates to longer tool life and fewer obstructions in the hole as you work.
• Metric reliability in M14 x 2 guarantees compatibility with standard repair kits and inserts, so you can tackle a wide range of equipment—from automotive to industrial machinery—without hunting for exotic sizes.
• Robust construction built for repeated use in harsh workshop environments. The tool maintains its cutting edge through demanding repairs, making it a dependable addition to any kit.
• Efficient workflow the tap is designed to create ready-to-install threads for coil inserts, enabling firm, vibration-resistant threads that resist pull-out and stripping under load.

Ideal use cases

• Repairing stripped or damaged threads in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and other common engineering materials.
• Reinforcing critical holes where high-duty fasteners experience frequent removal and reinstallation.
• Preparing holes for Heli-Coil inserts in maintenance, repairs, and rebuild projects on machinery, automotive components, and equipment housings.

What problems it solves

• Prevents costly thread failures by restoring original thread geometry, restoring clamp load and fastener integrity.
• Eliminates guesswork in selecting thread repair options, providing a single, reliable tool for M14 x 2 repairs.
• Minimizes downtime with fast, accurate tapping that reduces the risk of misaligned inserts and a wobbly fit.

Practical tips for best results

• Clean the hole and remove debris before tapping to ensure true thread formation.
• Apply a light cutting lubricant or oil to reduce heat and extend tool life during the cut.
• Keep the tap square to the hole and use steady, even pressure; avoid forcing the tool, which can cause galling or misalignment.
• After tapping, deburr the hole and chase the threads lightly with the appropriate tap to finalize alignment before installing the coil insert.
• Pair with a compatible installation tool and the correct Heli-Coil insert size to maximize grip and load distribution.
