Practical tapping tips

• Choose a pilot hole size appropriate for M45x1.5 and use steady, even pressure to avoid deflection or breakage.
• Lubricate with a suitable cutting fluid to reduce heat and prolong tool life; maintain a light back-off after several turns to break chips.
• Keep the tap square to the workpiece and avoid overtightening to maintain accurate thread form.
• Clean and inspect threads after tapping; deburr the hole entrance if needed to ensure a clean starting point for fasteners.
