RUKO HGB-Set2tlg-DIN2181-MF18x1.5mm Hand Tap Set, 2-Piece, Metric Fine Thread, HSS-E

This RUKO hand tap set provides a matched pair of taps for cutting metric fine threads with a nominal diameter of 18 mm and a 1.5 mm pitch. Unlike single taps, the two-piece set includes a taper tap and a finish tap, allowing you to produce threads in through and blind holes with the correct form and tolerance. The taps are made from HSS-E high-speed steel with cobalt, which offers good wear resistance when working with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals.

Highlights

• Set includes taper tap and finish tap for sequential thread cutting
• Metric fine thread MF18 x 1.5 mm to DIN 2181
• HSS-E material with cobalt for improved durability
• Straight flutes suitable for general purpose machining
• Right-hand thread direction with ISO 2 (6H) tolerance class

In daily use

The square shank provides a secure drive in a tap wrench, and the bright uncoated finish allows easy chip flow. The set is supplied in a plastic box or blister for organized storage. The two-tap system reduces cutting force per tap and helps achieve accurate threads in tougher materials.
