How to use for best results

1. Drill a pilot hole to the standard tap drill size for M64x6 per ISO 529 guidelines, ensuring perpendicular alignment to the workpiece.
2. Secure the workpiece in a vise or use a tapping fixture to minimize runout and keep the tap square to the hole.
3. Apply a light cutting fluid or oil to reduce friction and extend tool life.
4. Begin tapping slowly, turning clockwise with steady pressure. Maintain alignment and avoid side loading to preserve thread integrity.
5. Periodically back off to break chips and clear debris, then resume cutting until the full depth is achieved.
