How to get best results
- Identify the correct SAE tap or die size for the job, and verify it matches the existing thread pitch.
- Secure the workpiece and apply a small amount of cutting lubricant to reduce friction and heat.
- Begin threading slowly, keeping the tool perpendicular to the work surface for straight, true threads.
- Periodically back off to break chips, then continue until the threads are fully formed. Finish with a gentle pass to ensure smooth mating with fasteners.
- Inspect and chase the threads if needed to ensure clean, functional engagement.
