Your cart is empty.Drill America DWT Series Qualtech pipe tap is appropriate for threading a wide variety of materials both ferrous and non-ferrous. The nominal size of a pipe tap is that of the pipe fitting to be tapped, not the actual size of the tap. The thread tapers 3/4 of an inch per foot. All pipe taps furnished with a 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 thread chamfer. NPT threads require the use of a "sealer" like Teflon tape or pipe compound. High-speed steel tool is good for most general purpose applications, offering a combination of hardness and toughness for wear resistance. Uncoated tools feature just the base substrate without any additional treatment or coatings and are suitable for a wide range of applications. Round with square end shank. Straight flute tools allow chips to collect in the flutes as they cut and are well suited for most applications in shallow cuts. Right-Hand cut tools have a cutting action that engages when they are run in a clockwise direction.

This product is high speed steel so I was easily able to tap stainless steel. The price is right when compared to other hss taps. Don’t get roped into buying the carbon steel taps unless you’re in soft material like aluminum.

Had to chase threads on a coupling. Worked perfectly

Only use this tap on mild steel. It will not cut anything that has been hardened.

I am by no means a machinist - I just needed to tap a 1/4" thick steel plate for an EGT sensor for my car. I drilled the hole with a size 'R' bit cobalt bit (also from Drill America), and this tap had no issue cutting the threads in the steel - just make sure to use cutting fluid (I like Tap Magic). I haven't used it on any other projects yet but the tap still looks brand new. I would definitely buy other Drill America taps in the future.

Works great! Used to retap a rusted-out plumbing pipe in the wall.

Thought if I was careful and used lots of cutting oil I could thread eight holes.Only got six before it snapped.
