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.

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.

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.

Good Value.

Fast Prime delivery and solid unit. Thank you

good!

Nice tap. Made out of metal. Surprised that it came from China but looks as though it could have been made in India. Came with neat plastic storage box that pulls apart. I don’t know why but mine has a faint smell of a grilled cheese sandwich. If that troubles you then maybe you should see if they have different flavors? I bought this to repair bolt holes but I’m sure it will come in handy to throw across the shop or at something when I get frustrated. Makes a nice Christmas gift for the handyman that has everything! I just wish it could have been made in Mexico or at least California as I like to purchase high quality crap to use once and then throw away, but I suspect I’ll lose this one like I misplace everything else! Y’all have a great day and keep on tapping!

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

My first/only use of these so far was to tap some holes in brass, drilled about 1-1.5 inches deep down the length of 2 brass rod (so the holes were not through-holes, and required bottom tapping). These got the job done with no fuss. Mileage may vary on harder metals, but I had no problems getting these holes tapped perfectly in brass with these taps using a little cutting lubricant (did them slowly by hand). For the money, I felt it was good value to get all 3 varieties.

Worked like a charm! Very satisfied with this bit
