Wiseman Threading Tools Taper Lead Metric HSS Tap Right Hand - M1.6x0.35

The Wiseman Threading Tools tap set is built for precision small-diameter work, delivering clean, consistent threads on metal parts with minimal effort. Designed for the exacting needs of engineers, hobbyists, and machinists, this HSS tap is ready to tackle delicate M1.6 x 0.35 metric threads with reliability and ease.

• Thread type and size: Right-hand metric thread, M1.6 x 0.35, ideal for compact components, electronic housings, and tiny fastener assemblies.
• Lead design: Taper lead to ease starting and alignment, reducing cross-threading and increasing first-pass success in confined or awkward setups.
• Material and finish: High-speed steel (HSS) ground for dimensional accuracy and robust performance; uncoated for versatile use across common metals.
• Standards: Conforms to ISO 529 dimensions, ensuring compatibility with standard drill sizes and mating fasteners.
• Applications: Best for through-holes and short blind holes in steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous materials where precise, small-diameter threads are required.
• Practical drill size tip: For M1.6 x 0.35 taps, start with a drill about 1.25 mm to achieve the correct tap drill diameter and reliable thread formation.
• Usage guidance: Use cutting fluid or light oil, steady hand or a tap wrench, and back off slightly after a few turns to break chips and prevent binding. Maintain consistent pressure and keep the tap perpendicular to the workpiece for straight, true threads.
• Ideal for: Precision instrument makers, electronics enclosure fabricators, and metalworking enthusiasts tackling small fastener assemblies or prototype parts where exact thread dimensions matter.

Why choose this Wiseman tap? It combines a proven taper-lead approach with durable HSS ground tooling, giving you smoother starts, fewer cross-threadings, and cleaner threads in tight spaces. Its uncoated finish accepts your preferred lubrication regimen and performs reliably across common shop materials, making it a dependable choice when every millimeter of thread matters.

Whether upgrading your workshop toolbox or completing a meticulous build, this M1.6 x 0.35 right-hand tap is designed to deliver precise threads with consistent results—every time.
