Why Wire Gauge Carbon Taps are a must-have for precision work
High-quality carbon steel: These taps are made from carbon steel, providing durability and resistance to wear, making them perfect for fine threads that are subject to frequent use.
Precision threading: Designed for small, wire gauge threads, they offer consistent and accurate thread cutting for tight-tolerance applications.
Sharp, clean threads: The cutting edges are precision-ground to produce smooth, functional threads with minimal burrs or imperfections.
Long-lasting performance: Carbon steel provides great value, with enhanced resistance to wear compared to softer materials, making these taps perfect for extended runs.
Versatile applications: Suitable for a wide range of small diameter threads, from fine threads in electronics, instrumentation, or automotive parts to general-use applications requiring tight tolerance.

Hobby machining: A go-to tap for machinists working on projects with small threads in home shops or DIY machining setups.
Prototyping and testing: Great for engineers and designers working on prototype models and pre-production runs requiring precision thread sizes.
How to Use the Wire Gauge Carbon Taps (Quick Guide)
Select the correct tap size: Ensure the tap matches the desired wire gauge and thread pitch for your application.
Drill a pilot hole: Use the recommended tap drill size (refer to charts based on the wire gauge).
Lubricate the process: Apply cutting oil or tapping fluid to reduce friction and prolong tool life.
Use a tap wrench or machine: Hold the tap perpendicular to the workpiece. Turn the wrench or machine at the proper feed rate to cut threads without overburdening the tool.
Clear chips: Back the tap out periodically to clear debris, ensuring a clean thread cut.
Final inspection: After threading, test the thread with a compatible bolt or screw to confirm the fit.
Care & Maintenance
Lubrication: Regular use of cutting fluids or tapping oils will help the tap stay sharp and reduce wear on the threads.
Storage: Keep the tap in a dry, rust-free environment. Store in a toolbox or organizer to avoid damage to the cutting edges.
Inspection: Regularly inspect the tap for wear or dulling of cutting edges. If the edges become dull or chipped, it is time to replace the tap.
