Value Collection CCT1598 Metric Tap Die Set 20 Pc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CCT1598 is a 20-piece metric coarse tap and die set designed for cutting and chasing external and internal threads across a range of metric fastener sizes. The set covers tap sizes from M6 x 1 to M16 x 2 and uses high speed steel construction throughout, providing the hardness and wear resistance needed for production and maintenance threading work. Round dies are adjustable for controlled cutting depth. A metal storage case keeps components organized and protected on the job or in the shop. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with metric-fastened equipment will find this set suited to field repair and bench work alike.

This set is appropriate for threading operations on mild steel, aluminum, and similar materials in both residential and light commercial maintenance contexts. Typical applications include fabricating metric-threaded fasteners, repairing stripped threads on equipment housings, and chasing corroded threads on mechanical assemblies. The included 1-1/2 inch die stock and straight tap wrench mean the set is ready to use without sourcing additional handles. It is suited for HVAC equipment service, general mechanical maintenance, and industrial repair environments where metric hardware is standard.

Installation Notes

Threading operations should be performed by a qualified machinist or technician familiar with proper tap and die technique. Always use appropriate cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend tool life. Secure the workpiece firmly before threading to prevent movement that can break taps. Inspect taps and dies before each use and replace any component showing chipping or wear to avoid damaging the workpiece.
