Hand Tap set of 3 pieces JIS B-4430 HSS-G - M 10 x 1.25

• Create internal threads during repair work or low volume production where manual tapping is practical.
• Process: manual driving or assisted driving depending on your holder and machine setup
• Use: thread cutting, re tapping, and thread cleaning depending on condition
• Use cutting fluid suitable for the material and keep the tool square to the hole axis.

Note Keep the setup clean and check the thread with a gauge or mating part after cutting.

• Manual control over torque and alignment during thread cutting
• Suitable for workshop repair, maintenance, and low volume production
• Practical for starting threads in assembled or hard to fixture parts
• Ground tool geometry can support consistent cutting action

• High torque applications can require stronger tooling and rigid fixturing
• Manual operation is slower than automated production methods

1. Prepare the hole with the correct pre machining and add a small entry chamfer.
2. Secure the workpiece so it cannot move during tapping.
3. Clamp the tap in a suitable tap wrench and bring it to the hole axis squarely.
4. Apply a cutting fluid matched to the workpiece material.
5. Start the first turns with steady pressure while keeping alignment.
6. Advance with controlled torque and reverse slightly at intervals to clear chips from the flutes.
7. Continue until the required thread depth is reached, then back out smoothly.
8. Clean the thread and inspect fit with a gauge or mating part.

• 3 pieces Hand Tap set of 3 pieces JIS B-4430 HSS-G - M 10 x 1.25

• Product type: Hand Tap Set
• Standard: JIS B-4430
• Tool material: HSS-G
• Thread designation: M 10 x 1.25
• Thread system: Metric ISO thread

How do you select the correct thread designation for this tool
Match the designation M 10 x 1.25 to the drawing and mating part, then confirm that the hole type and process match the tool design.

Which holder is typically used for manual tapping
A tap wrench that clamps the square shank is the typical choice, and you keep the tool axis aligned to the hole to reduce side load.

How do you reduce the risk of tap breakage
Keep alignment, use suitable lubrication, avoid side loading, and clear chips from the flutes so torque does not rise suddenly.

Which workpiece materials are typical for this threading tool
Thread cutting tools are commonly used in steels, cast iron, and many non ferrous alloys, but you should adapt lubricant choice and process control for hard, sticky, or abrasive materials.

What does Metric ISO thread mean in the thread designation
M indicates a metric ISO thread system used widely in general mechanical engineering.

Do you need lubrication and how do you manage chips
Use a cutting fluid suitable for the material to reduce friction, and clear chips from the flutes during the process to keep torque stable.
