2Pcs HSS M18 x 1.5 Tap & Thread Chaser, Metric Right Hand

This 2‑piece set of HSS right‑hand taper and plug taps is designed for creating new threads or repairing damaged ones in a variety of metal workpieces. The M18×1.5 metric thread size is a common choice for many industrial and DIY applications. Key Features Material: High‑Speed Steel (HSS) that has been heat‑treated and tempered to HRC60 hardness for reliable toughness and wear resistance. Design: Straight‑flute geometry promotes fast chip evacuation, reducing the risk of clogging and allowing for smoother threading operations. Compatibility: Works effectively on brass, copper, carbon steel, stainless steel, mild steel, iron, aluminum, and other similar metals. Versatility: Suitable for hand‑held use as well as integration with tapping machines, drill presses, CNC lathes, and machining centers. Precision: CNC‑machined cutting teeth produce clean, accurate threads that meet standard metric specifications. Specifications Table | Parameter | Value | |-----------|-------| | Thread Size | M18 × 1.5 mm | | Tap Type | Right‑hand taper & plug taps | | Material | HSS (High‑Speed Steel) | | Hardness | HRC60 | | Overall Length | 100 mm / 3.94 in | | Thread Head Length | 45 mm / 1.77 in | | Shank Diameter | 12 mm / 0.47 in | | Square Head Dimensions | 9 mm × 9 mm / 0.35 in × 0.35 in | | Pitch | 1.5 mm | | Package Contents | 2 pieces (1 taper tap, 1 plug tap) | Recommended Use To achieve excellent results, always use an appropriate lubricant or cutting fluid when tapping. This not only improves thread quality but also helps extend the service life of the taps. The tools are supplied as a pair, providing both a taper tap for starting threads and a plug tap for finishing them

• High-Speed Steel Construction: These taps are crafted from HSS (High-Speed Steel) that undergoes heat treatment and tempering, achieving a hardness of HRC60. The CNC-precision-machined cutting teeth deliver consistent performance and extended service life in metal threading tasks
• Straight-Flute Design for Efficient Chip Removal: The straight-flute configuration allows chips to evacuate quickly, minimizing clogging and enabling smoother, faster thread cutting. This design helps reduce operator effort and improves threading efficiency
• Wide Compatibility with Multiple Metals: Suitable for threading a range of metals including brass, copper, carbon steel, stainless steel, mild steel, iron, and aluminum. Compatible with both manual operation and use with tapping machines, bench drills, CNC lathes, and machining centers
• Precise Metric Thread Dimensions: Each tap conforms to metric M18x1.5 specifications. Key dimensions include overall length 100 mm (3.94 in), thread head length 45 mm (1.77 in), shank diameter 12 mm (0.47 in), square head 9x9 mm (0.35x0.35 in). Clear, accurate threads ensure reliable results
• Practical Usage Tip for Optimal Results: To achieve cleaner threads and prolong tap life, we recommend applying a suitable lubricant or cutting fluid during the tapping process. This simple step enhances cutting performance and helps maintain the tool's sharpness
• Complete Two-Piece Set: Package includes one taper tap for starting threads and one plug tap for finishing them, providing a comprehensive solution for creating new threads or repairing damaged ones in various metal workpieces
