Threading

Taps and dies are metal threading tools used to create new threads or clean up damaged ones. Taps cut a thread on the internal surface of a hole, creating the female component of an assembly, such as a nut or socket. Conversely, dies create the male component by cutting a thread on the external surface of a metal rod, such as a screw or bolt. We offer an extensive line of high-quality taps that includes the following types: extension, pulley, hand, pipe, spiral flute, spiral point, straight flute, screw thread insert, and thread forming taps. We also carry an assortment of tapping tools, such as hand tappers, tap extractors, and tap wrenches. Our selection of dies includes round adjustable dies and die stocks.
