Description
Overview:
The Volkel 12mm Second Lead Tap & Tapping Size Drill Set (MPN: B/M12) is a matched pair designed for accurate, repeatable thread cutting in metal. The set includes a 12 mm second lead hand tap and the corresponding tapping drill, giving you the correct combination for starting and producing a clean M12 thread. Both pieces are made from high-speed steel (HSS) for strength and wear resistance, with the drill coated in titanium nitride (TiN) to reduce friction and extend service life. The drill is a split-point design to help with precise starts, made to DIN 338. The tap conforms to ISO 529 for consistent results. Suitable for use with a tap wrench, drill driver, or pillar drill, it suits workshop, site, and garage jobs on steel, aluminium, and brass.
