Drill America DWTT1/2-13 1/2-13 Carbon Steel Taper Tap (Pack of 1), DWT Series, Uncoated (Bright)

Used it to mount a AXA tool post changer.

Bought to thread in a Grovtec Push Button Base into a Luth-AR MBA Buttstock. Easy peasy

You must choose which type of starter threads is best for your needs. Seven thread taper is for cutting new threads in soft metals, cased iron, or plastic. Use lots of oil. The shorter-length starter tap is best for cleaning existing threads. The super short starter thread tap is for finishing bottoming threads. I showed this tap to my friend that makes taps for a living and he said it looked ok but his stuff was much better and made of M2 tool steel. Then I told him the price and he said no, he couldnt do that for that price. Couldnt even buy the blank steel needed at that price.

Jan2023: a performer for the price point, cuts cleanly with properly ground/dressed flute edges. Nickel-alloy content similar to more expensive taps thus easier to get started in steel.. At least the ones i received this order werent like the poorly manufactured threads you see too often.

Worked like a charm! Very satisfied with this bit

Nice, easy and quick transaction. Tap set was perfect for reclaiming a 10-24 thread on a tool that woud have cost $50 or more to replace.

This procuct met all of my expectations and was useful in the application I needed it for.

good!

I didnt need all 3 but it was a size I didnt have out of my 500 taps I have so I figured get all 3 . For me this is the size for my 3point hitch on my tractor

This is a taper tap which easily advances in a prepared hole of correct size or for use in chasing damaged threads. Good value for the money.
