Value Collection CCT1596 Metric Tap Die Set 12 Pc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CCT1596 is a 12-piece metric coarse tap and die set designed for cutting and restoring external and internal threads across a range of common metric fastener sizes. The set spans from M12 x 1.75 up to M20 x 2.50, covering the heavy-end metric coarse thread sizes most frequently encountered in industrial, mechanical, and structural applications. Both taps and dies are manufactured from high speed steel, providing the hardness and wear resistance needed for threading steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. The included metal storage case keeps components organized and protected on the job or in the shop.

This set is suited for machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and field service work where metric coarse threads are standard. It is appropriate for threading new fastener holes, chasing damaged threads on bolts and studs, and fabricating replacement hardware in metric specifications. The adjustable round dies and straight tap wrench included with the set allow for controlled thread fit adjustments without requiring additional tooling. The metal case construction supports repeated shop-floor use.

Key Features

• Covers M12 x 1.75 through M20 x 2.50 metric coarse thread range
• High speed steel construction for both taps and dies
• Adjustable round dies allow thread fit fine-tuning
• Includes die stock and straight tap wrench
• 12-piece set stored in a durable metal case
• Metric coarse thread standard for broad compatibility with standard metric fasteners

Compatibility

Designed for cutting and restoring metric coarse threads in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where M12 x 1.75 through M20 x 2.50 thread sizes are required.

Installation Notes

Taps and dies should be used with an appropriate cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend tool life. Secure the workpiece firmly before threading and apply consistent, even pressure to avoid tap breakage. When chasing existing threads, clear chips frequently by reversing the tap a half turn for every full turn of advance. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and wear eye protection during all threading operations.
