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

When thread integrity matters, the Baer Heli Coil Tap delivers precision, durability, and reliability for thread repairs and reinforcements. This spiral flute tap (STI) is engineered in metric M14 x 2 to create clean, accurate internal threads that perfectly suit Heli-Coil wire thread inserts, delivering strong, long-lasting repairs in a variety of metals.

Designed for demanding workshop and maintenance tasks, the spiral flute geometry enhances chip evacuation, minimizes binding, and reduces heat buildup. The result is smoother tapping, reduced tool wear, and consistent thread forms that ensure inserts seat securely every time.

Key benefits

• Efficient chip management— spiral flutes push chips away from the cutting edge for cleaner cuts and less rework.
• Precise, repeatable threads— tight tolerances produce uniform thread profiles that engage helicoil inserts reliably.
• Robust, dependable construction— built to withstand regular use in professional shops and DIY setups alike.
• Metric compatibility— M14 x 2 sizing aligns with standard helicoil insert kits, simplifying repairs on a wide range of components.
• Versatile applications— ideal for repairing damaged threads and reinforcing soft substrates in aluminum, steel, and castings across automotive, machinery, and fabrication tasks.

Use case scenarios include restoring stripped threads on automotive housings, engine components, and serviceable machinery, or reinforcing critical fasteners in workholding fixtures and prototypes. With the Baer Heli Coil Tap, you can extend the life of assemblies, improve load distribution, and avoid costly part replacements by delivering dependable thread integrity.

Practical tips for best results: ensure you’re using the correct helicoil insert kit and drill size, support the workpiece to prevent deflection, and apply a suitable cutting fluid to minimize heat and improve finish. After tapping, verify thread quality with a gauge and proceed with the helicoil insertion for a secure, durable repair.
