Value Collection CCT1574 Tap Die Set Unc Hss 16 Pc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CCT1574 is a 16-piece tap and die set covering UNC thread sizes from 1/4-20 up to 3/4-10. Both taps and dies are manufactured from high speed steel (HSS), providing hardness and heat resistance suitable for threading steel, iron, and other common metals encountered in mechanical and trade work. The dies are round in profile and adjustable, allowing for minor diameter correction during threading operations. A metal case keeps the set organized and protects tooling between uses. This set is used by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians who need to cut or restore unified coarse threads in the field or shop.

This set is suited for general mechanical maintenance, equipment repair, and fabrication work where UNC threaded fastener sizes from 1/4 inch through 3/4 inch are standard. The included die stock and straight tap wrench mean the set is ready to use without sourcing additional handles. Applications include threading pipe flanges, structural fasteners, machinery frames, and replacement hardware across industrial and commercial maintenance environments.

Key Features

• Covers UNC tap range from 1/4-20 minimum to 3/4-10 maximum
• High speed steel construction on both taps and dies for durability across ferrous materials
• Round adjustable dies allow fine-tuning of thread fit during cutting
• Includes 1-1/2 inch die stock and straight tap wrench — no additional handles required
• 16-piece set stored in a protective metal case for jobsite and shop use

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard UNC (Unified National Coarse) threaded fastener applications ranging from 1/4-20 through 3/4-10. Suitable for threading operations on steel, cast iron, and similar machinable metals.

Installation Notes

Tap and die work should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with thread-cutting procedures. Always secure the workpiece before applying torque to the tap wrench or die stock. Use appropriate cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend tool life, and back off the tap periodically to clear chips and prevent breakage. Inspect taps and dies for wear or chipping before each use to avoid damaging workpiece threads.
