The Wiseman Threading Tools Taper Lead Metric HSS Tap Right Hand in size M40x1.5 is a precision threading instrument built for reliability in metalworking. Crafted from high-speed steel and ground to tight tolerances, this tap delivers clean, accurate threads in a variety of metals without unnecessary effort.

Key features that matter in real work

• Material and construction: High-speed steel (HSS) ground for precision, with an uncoated finish that pairs well with common cutting fluids and coolants for optimal heat management and longer tool life.
• Threading geometry: Right-hand thread with taper lead, designed to start cutting smoothly and reduce run-out, especially in tougher materials or misaligned holes.
• Standard and size: M40x1.5, aligned with ISO 529 dimensions for compatibility with standard metric threads and industry practices.
• General-purpose usefulness: Ideal for both through-hole threading and provisioning of durable, repeatable threads in steel, cast iron, and aluminum.
• Durability and control: Precision-ground form minimizes drift during tapping and improves chip evacuation for a cleaner, more consistent thread

Designed for practical, everyday metalworking, this tap helps you achieve true, tight threads with less finishing work. The taper lead reduces the tendency for the tool to catch as you begin the cut, making manual or machine tapping smoother and more predictable. Pair it with appropriate cutting fluid and steady workholding to maximize tool life and surface finish.
