Description
Overview:
The Volkel Tap & Drill Set M3-M12 (49513) is a comprehensive metric threading kit for precision work in metal. The taps are made from high‐speed steel (HSS) for durability and clean cutting in steels, aluminium, and other common alloys. Covering sizes M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, and M12, the set provides three taps per size for progressive thread cutting and good control. Seven matching tapping drills are included for the correct pilot holes, alongside an adjustable tap wrench and a ratchet tap wrench for hand use. Supplied in a metal index box, it suits workshop benches, site toolboxes, and use with hand tap wrenches, drill presses, or milling machines where accurate pilot holes and hand tapping are required.
