Description
Tap Guides to Align Threading Taps on Lathe, Mill, Jigs Bore Machines A tap guide is a tool used in metalworking to help start a tap (a tool for cutting threads) straight into a hole. It ensures the tap enters the hole correctly aligned, preventing it from veering off course and creating crooked or damaged threads. Essentially, it guides the tap to ensure precise threading. Precision Craftsmanship: Constructed from precise hardened alloy steel, ensuring durability and longevity in demanding applications. Exceptional Hardness: Point hardened to 50-55 HRC for resistance against wear and maintenance of sharpness. Enhanced Handling: 1/2" diameter hardened shank, knurled for easy and secure handling, even in challenging conditions. Customizable Functionality: Features an adjustable tension spring and a 3/16" hardened tension pin for tailored tapping operations. Seamless Execution: To use, grip the center's body in a drill chuck or collet, and insert the hardened point into the middle of the tapping handle. Accurate Thread Alignment: The stroke of the center follows the tap, ensuring the creation of straight and accurate hand-tapped threads. Universal Size: Designed to be a one-size-fits-all solution for all tapping applications, providing versatility and convenience. Versatile Application: Ideal for threading operations on lathe, mill, and jig bore machines, making it an essential tool for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike
