Tips for best results

Maximize life and performance with practical tapping practices:

• Use a sharp, clean drill size appropriate for M22x1 threads and apply cutting oil or tapping fluid to reduce friction and chip buildup.
• Begin with a light, steady feed, then reduce pressure as you approach the finished depth to maintain thread form and minimize chatter.
• In through-holes, allow for chip clearance by periodically backing the tap out to break and remove chips.
• Keep the tap square to the workpiece to avoid cross-threading and out-of-round threads.
