Tips

  • Machine taps are suggested to be used with tap collets with overload protection. Hand use or electric drills use is easy to cause breakage to the tap, so it is not recommended.
  • Use with tapping oil to get higher quality thread and more durable taps. Cutting oil is lubrication, cooling and anti-sticking. Be sure to select the appropriate cutting oil for complex tapping process and apply anti-rust oil for maintenance after use.

1/8-27NPS machine taps worked great lubricating with cutting oil, had to refurbish a older floor lamp cut tread in socket holder fitting this is the proper tap size for this application. I received it from Amazon early-er than posted.
