Drill America 3/8-16 UNC High Speed Steel Tap Set

The taps look OK. I have not yet used them. However, a set of 3 was advertised and I only got 2 in the package. It was not worth the effort to try to return them, but I feel cheated.

I’m new to the hobby and broke a tap I purchased from another seller fairly quick so I thought I’d experiment with the set. I’m using a 1/16th to bore out the post and getting beautiful threads. I refer to the set as a cutter, a rough and a finish. I’m using the cutter and rough as often as I can, but some of the posts are so shallow I use the finish because the others won’t bite. I’ve got a dozen cars done already and see these taps working for easily double, triple, who knows how many more.

Used for threading bored out delrin rods. Worked great. Excellent results.

Nicely made taps, but not a set of 1 each of taper, plug, and bottoming taps as described. Replacement set the same so did not bother to return replacement set.

All three styles of taps are included in this purchase.

I am frustrated at the photo not accurately representing the product. The product photo shows the threads wider than the body so you can tap both sides of a tube with a single tap. What was delivered did not look like the photo. I wouldn’t have ordered them.

Works great. Used it at work to tap out some screw holes.

I ordered a set of three and just got two. Thats unacceptable

Machining brass these work great. These taps do not list the H value for pitch size, example H1 is .0005 inch over nominal pitch diameter each value add .0005 inch. Most taps are made at a H2 or H3 value. These seem to be H3 work very nice and you cant beat the price. These are 4 flute, hand taps, tapping block is recommended, get any tap sideways and good bye tap. The shank diameter is above the minor diameter so thru tapping past the end of thread is not possible, you would need a special taps for that, this is not it. Nice tap set great for hobby work, professionals dont guess at pitch sizes.

Performed as expected.
