Description
Overview:
The Volkel Taper/2nd/Plug Cut, M12 x 1.75 Metric Taps Set of 3 is a matched set for cutting accurate internal threads in metals. Made from durable, high-quality steel with straight flutes, each tap handles a different stage: the taper tap starts the thread cleanly, the second (intermediate) tap deepens it, and the plug tap finishes to full depth. Designed for use with a tap wrench or machine holders on equipment such as pillar drills, lathes, or milling machines, the set is suitable for workshop, site, and maintenance tasks. The M12 (12 mm major diameter) x 1.75 mm pitch is the standard ISO metric coarse thread, providing reliable compatibility with common M12 bolts and fixings in engineering and fabrication.
Key Features:
- Complete three-piece sequence: taper, second cut, and plug for clean, accurate thread formation from start to finish
- Standard M12 x 1.75 ISO metric coarse thread for broad compatibility with fixings and components
- Straight flute design helps control chips and maintain alignment in through and blind holes
- Made from robust steel for long service life and consistent performance
- Suitable for hand tapping with a T-handle wrench or machine use with the correct collet or holder
- Manufactured to ISO standards for dependable accuracy and interchangeability
- Clear size marking on each tap for quick identification in the toolbox
- Balanced cutting geometry aimed at smooth starting and reduced binding when used with suitable cutting fluid
- Versatile for workshop, maintenance, and fabrication across a range of metals including steel and aluminium
- Practical set format ensures you have the correct progression for best results
