Wiseman Threading Tools Metric Fine HSS Hand Tap Set ISO529 - M48x2

The Wiseman Threading Tools Metric Fine HSS Hand Tap Set ISO529 - M48x2 is a precision hand-tap collection designed to deliver clean, dependable thread cutting in metalworking projects. Crafted from high-speed steel and precisely ground, these taps are uncoated for general purpose use and tuned to ISO 529 dimensions, with a right-hand thread that suits most common metric applications.

• Three-lead configuration: taper, plug (second), and bottoming taps provide the full threading sequence—from starting the thread to finishing to full depth.
• Metric fine thread, M48x2, aligned with ISO 529 specifications to ensure accurate pitch and compatibility with standard metric components.
• High-speed steel ground taps offer consistent flute geometry for smoother cutting and better chip evacuation, with an uncoated surface ideal for use with cutting fluids.
• Designed for manual tapping with a tap wrench, making it suitable for workshops, maintenance, and hobbyist projects that demand precise thread creation.
• Versatile for common machinable metals—steel, aluminum, brass—and built for repeated use in professional shops or home garages.

Practical use tips: lubricate with an appropriate cutting oil, start with a proper pilot hole, and apply steady, straight torque in the tapping direction. Break chips by backing off occasionally, then continue until the desired depth is reached for reliable, accurate threads.
