Sutton M2070805 MF8 x 1 Hand Tap Set - Taper, Intermediate and Bottoming
Available
The Sutton M207 Metric Fine (MF) hand tap set is a set of three straight flute hand taps in one thread size: one taper tap, one intermediate tap and one bottoming tap. It is made in 11 sizes from MF8 x 1 to MF24 x 2, so you buy the set that matches the thread you need to cut.
The taps are made from tungsten chrome alloy (TCA) with a square shank for use in a tap wrench. The straight flutes suit materials where chips break up readily, particularly through-hole tapping, and the taps are for hand use only, to a depth of up to 1.5 x diameter.
These are carbon taps for general purpose and DIY use. They are not suitable for precision, safety or critical threads. Taper taps are used when the material is difficult to work (alloy steel) and are recommended for small diameter threads. Intermediate taps help align and start the tap into an untapped hole. Bottoming taps have a continuous cutting edge with almost no taper and are usually used to cut threads to the bottom of a blind hole.
Where this set is used
- Cutting ISO metric fine (MF) internal threads by hand in maintenance, repair and workshop jobs
- Re-threading damaged holes with a tap wrench, starting with the taper tap and finishing with the bottoming tap in blind holes
- Keeping the three leads together for a thread size you cut often
