Restore Threads Accurately with Left-Hand Precision
The Burkit 1/2"-13 UNC Left Hand Tap and Die Set is engineered for precision thread creation and repair. Made from durable High-Speed Steel (6542 M2) for the tap and Alloy Tool Steel for the die, this set ensures longevity and performance on various metals including cast iron, copper, brass, and A3 steel. The left-hand threading direction is crucial for specific applications, and the straight flute design on the tap facilitates fast chip removal, preventing blockages and ensuring smoother machining.
The tap is designed for through holes or shallow blind holes, while the die is perfect for repairing external threads. Its conical locking hole aligns securely with the wrench, preventing loosening during operation. For optimal results, always use appropriate lubricating oil on the cutting edge and reverse the die every 1/4 to 1/2 turn to clear chips. This set is suitable for use with tapping machines, bench drills, CNC lathes, or manual processing, with recommended feed rates varying by material hardness.
This imported tool set offers a cost-effective solution for workshops and DIY enthusiasts in India. While local alternatives may exist, this Burkit set provides reliable performance for left-hand threading needs. All customs duties and GST are included in the price, with delivery via ExpressBox tracked shipping.
