Tap Die Set

Cut, Chase and Repair Threads with Professional Tap and Die Sets

Whether you’re cutting new threads in steel or aluminium, cleaning damaged threads on machinery, or extracting a broken tap from a blind hole, the right tap and die set makes the difference between a clean job and a ruined workpiece. AIMS Industrial sells over 85 tap and die sets and thread cutting tools — metric, BSP and UNF tap sets, die sets, combination sets and tap extractors — for fabrication, maintenance and engineering workshops across Australia.

We stock tap and die sets from Goliath, Sutton Tools, Trax, Saber, P&N, Bordo and Typhoon Tools — trusted cutting tool brands for professional thread cutting and repair applications.

The Tap & Die Sets Range

Our range covers the thread standards and tool types most commonly required on Australian construction, maintenance and engineering sites.

• Goliath Tap Extractors: Goliath specialises in tap extractors (the TESET range) for removing broken taps from threaded holes — one of the most critical and difficult workshop recovery operations. Goliath tap extractors are available in a comprehensive size range to suit metric, UNF and BSP tap sizes, and are designed to grip and extract broken tap flutes without further damaging the parent material.
• Sutton Tools Tap & Die Sets: Sutton Tools offers tap and die sets covering the most common metric thread sizes for Australian workshops. Key products include the M551M18 Metric Tap Set and the M500M16 Metric Tap and Die Set — both high-speed steel sets suited to threading steel, cast iron and aluminium in fabrication and maintenance applications. Sutton Tools taps and dies are manufactured to precision tolerance standards for consistent thread form and fit.
• Trax Tap & Die Sets: Trax offers sets across metric, BSF (British Standard Fine) and BSW (British Standard Whitworth) thread standards. The SKC-720BSF and SKC-720BSW combination sets cover both tap and die requirements in a single case, while the SKC-110M Metric Tap and Die Set provides a comprehensive metric thread cutting solution. BSF and BSW sets suit older machinery and equipment still in service across Australian workshops.
• Saber Tap & Die Sets: Saber provides the S1 and S4 combination sets, offering a cost-effective option for general-purpose metric thread cutting in trade workshops and maintenance environments.
• P&N, Bordo & Typhoon Tools: P&N, Bordo and Typhoon Tools round out the range with additional tap and die set options for workshops requiring alternative brands or specific thread standards not covered by the main range.

Choosing the Right Tap & Die Set

Tap and die selection depends on the thread standard, the material being threaded and whether you need to cut new threads or repair existing ones.

• Thread Standard — Metric, BSP, BSW or UNF: Metric (M) threads are the Australian standard for most new engineering and fabrication work. BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads are used for pipe fittings and hydraulic connections. BSW and BSF threads are found in older machinery still in service. UNF (Unified National Fine) threads appear in imported equipment and aerospace applications. Match your tap and die set to the thread standard of the fasteners or components you’re working with.
• Tap Sets vs Combination Sets: Tap-only sets cover internal thread cutting (nuts, holes) and suit workshops that primarily work with tapped holes. Combination tap and die sets cover both internal and external threading (bolts, studs) and are the more versatile option for general workshop use. Tap extractors are a separate specialist tool for broken tap recovery and should be stocked alongside any tap set.
