Description
Overview:
The Volkel Taper/2nd/Plug 1/4 x 28 UNF Imperial Tap Set of 3 is a precision hand-tapping set for producing unified fine internal threads in metal. Made from high-quality steel, it includes three taps for the full threading sequence: Taper (starting), Second/Intermediate, and Plug (finishing). The size is 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) with 28 threads per inch, equivalent to a pitch of approximately 0.91 mm. The straight flute design suits controlled hand use with a tap wrench or T-handle in common workshop materials such as mild steel, aluminium, and brass. Manufactured to ANSI B1.1 for UNF threads, it delivers accurate fit with matching fasteners used across machinery, small engines, and garden equipment. Ideal for maintenance, repair, and fabrication tasks where clean, reliable threads are needed.
Key Features:
- Three-piece sequence (Taper, 2nd, Plug) for easy starts, correct alignment, and full thread depth
- Size: 1/4 in (6.35 mm) x 28 TPI, approx. 0.91 mm pitch, for fine-thread applications
- Straight flute design for controlled hand tapping and smooth chip evacuation
- Durable steel construction for consistent cutting performance and long service life
- Finished to ANSI B1.1 UNF standards for dimensional accuracy and compatibility
- Suited to mild steel, aluminium, and brass when used with suitable cutting fluid
- Works with standard tap wrenches or T-handles for simple setup and use
- Clearly defined chamfers on each tap stage for predictable cutting action
- Fine thread profile offers strong holding in thinner sections and precision assemblies
