Milwaukee 17 Piece Metric Tap & Die Set (4932498720)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932498720

Milwaukee's 4932498720 is a 17-piece metric tap and die set for M3, M4, M5, M6 and M8 coarse threads: a plug tap and a hex threading die for each, the five matching tapping drills, a T-handle and a die stock. It is for cutting new threads or cleaning up damaged ones in mild steel, brass and aluminium.

Good to know

• Which drill do I use before tapping? The set pairs them: 2.5mm for M3, 3.3mm for M4, 4.2mm for M5, 5.0mm for M6 and 6.8mm for M8. Drill straight and square to the surface.
• How do I stop a tap snapping? Use cutting oil, keep the tap square, and turn it back a little every turn or so to break the chip; never force it.
• Will it repair a sump plug or wheel stud thread? No. Those are usually bigger than M8 and often fine pitch; this set is for small body, trim and bracket threads.
• Can it cut out a hardened or broken bolt? No. Hardened steel and broken taps need an extractor or specialist removal, not an ordinary tap.

Which one?

There is no other tap and die set in this range; for the bolts you re-thread, the Milwaukee MAX BITE Metric Combination Spanner Set 8-22m (15 Piece) (4932464258) covers the matching head sizes.
