• Uncoated finish for reliable, versatile performance across common metals without the need for specialty coatings.
• ISO 529 compliant geometry ensures precise, consistent threads that align with standard M16x1.5 nuts and fittings.
• Right-hand thread design—ideal for the vast majority of machining, automotive, and fabrication tasks.
• Includes taper, second, and bottom taps (lead, second, and bottom) to start, progress, and complete the thread in a single sequence.
• Compact, organized set designed for repeated use in both home workshops and professional environments.

Practical applications

Perfect for creating internal threads in sleeves, housings, housings, and components that require a precise M16x1.5 profile. Whether you're performing on-the-spot repairs, fabricating prototypes, or building production jigs, this metric fine tapping set delivers dependable, durable threads that stand up to use.

Tips for best results

1. Select the correct pilot hole size according to standard tapping guidelines for M16x1.5 to minimize stress on the tap and prevent cross-threading.
2. Apply light cutting fluid or oil to reduce friction, extend tool life, and produce a smoother thread finish.
3. Begin with the taper lead to align the tap, then advance through the second tap and finish with the bottom tap for a complete thread.
4. Turn slowly, back off to break the chip, and avoid forcing the tap—let the tool do the work.

Wiseman delivers dependable tapping performance that supports precise, durable internal threads across a spectrum of metalworking tasks. Add this metric fine HSS hand tap set to your toolkit and experience consistent results from first use through long-term projects.
