Comprehensive Metric Sets
of Taps & Dies
With the trends toward keeping everything original and doing undetectable,
nearly perfect, work nowadays; we have
developed all new very inclusive sets of metric taps and dies, with the help of
top notch technicians on three continents.
First, these are not cheap quality
taps and dies procured just to fill a spot. These are good quality tools that you can keep and use.
We have divided up the sizes to make smaller sets that will be both more affordable and more
convenient. You may find them to be kind of woodwind or brasswind specific
in the grand scheme of things. But, you can get to coverage you need by just adding
the particular sizes that better fit your needs to either existing
set.
Any item is available as an independent piece for replacement or special
jobs as well as custom creating your own set. Some basic usages are listed
at the bottom of the page.
Here are the metric sizes-
determined to be most usable.
To order individual sizes would be D120T-(+tap size) or D120D-(+die size)
For
example: D120T-2.2X.45 for a tap and D120D-2.2x.45 for same size die.
