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

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.

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.

Used it to mount a AXA tool post changer.

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.

I ordered a BOTTOM TAP. I received an angled spiral cut tap which is not what is described, not what I ordered, and not what the protective box it came inside said it was. I was able to get the job done but had to modify the item I was working on to do so.

I bought the set for a one-time use of this odd size (M13x1.5). Price was right at about 1/3 the cost of other taps but the steel isnt top quality. The worked well to cut the threads I needed in cast 6061 aluminum. They came out clean, sharp and accurate but I dont think the taps will hold up for the long haul. Theyre a very good value for limited use. If you need to cut a lot of threads or plan to keep them for years, youd be better off spending more and getting better quality tools.

Works great for the price

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.

I’m not sure how long it will last but I don’t use taps very often and it served the purpose I needed it for

Good Value.
