Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use a 12mm bolt with it?

No, this was for an 8mm bolt with a 1.25 inch diameter. To be sure, check the diameter of the bolt as well as the thread pitch, which comes in both metric and imperial sizes. So, even if you have a 12mm bolt, you must know the thread pitch in order to select the appropriate tap.

Will this be sufficient for five people? 4head? Also, what is the difference between a tap and a chaser, and which is the best for an aluminum head with stripped bolts?

It's called a tap because it's used to clean or repair treads if there are any. It can also be used to create threads by tapping new holes. The taps come in a variety of levels of aggression, and some may be better for chasing than tapping. In regards to your number five, You'll need to look up the thread pitch for a 4 head. Because aluminum is a soft metal, it is easy to strip but difficult to chase. I'm an amateur, so please bear with me. ATL RIOT is the name of my YouTube channel.

Is this a good thread to use?

Two thread pitches are shown on my metric nut and bolt identifier. They are 8mm x 1mm in size. 8mm x 1 and 00mm x 1. The 8mm x 1.25mm x 1.25mm x 1.25mm The fine thread is 00. As a result, the answer is a resounding no.

Instead of a taper tap, a plug tap was sent
4/5

I placed an order for the 8mm 1. Tap with a metric of 25. On a blue and yellow card (retail packaging), I was given an Irwin branded model. One thing to keep in mind is that the tap I got is a plug tap, rather than the more common taper tap. Because the type was not specified in the description, I assumed I'd get a taper tap. Taps can be classified into three categories: Tapers, plug taps, and bottoming taps are used for threading through holes or blind holes where the threading does not need to continue to the bottom. To thread a blind hole to the bottom, the last two are usually used together. Begin with the plug tap and work your way down to the bottoming tap. I don't care because I'm cleaning up an existing set of threads, but depending on your application, you might want to use a taper tap.

It was a successful mission
5/5

When I reassembled my cylinder head, I messed up the threads. I came to a halt, placed an order for one of the stunning gowns, and re-threaded the messed-up thread. After that, the exhaust manifold went on without a hitch. br>br>I would advise backing it out and cleaning the debris on a regular basis. Because it cuts well, it produces a large quantity of chips.

As usual, excellent
5/5

First and foremost, thank you to MaxWarehouse for getting this shipped and delivered to me ahead of schedule! I may be a little snobby in some ways, but I still prefer products made in the United States of America (or Germany). In my opinion, Irwin has always produced high-quality, consistent products, and I'm happy to help them out in any way I can. No- It's a no-brainer; it's the best tool for the job.

Very light duty and inexpensive
3/5

I was using it to clean out threads on burl wood shift knobs that I make with the M8 x 1 nut driver. There are 25 threads in total. After about ten minutes of chasing the threads, The thing snapped after 15 knobs, leaving most of the tap inside one of these prized burl wood items and rendering it unfit for human consumption. Maybe mine had a flaw in the metal, or it was just very light duty? Invest in a higher-quality product.

5/5

Pay a little extra for a good tap like this. For a car repair, I purchased this as well as a helicopter. Make sure your tap handle is of high quality!.

The tap is of good quality
5/5

The tap is well-made, with a precise thread pitch. I've only used it on aluminum, but it cuts well and leaves a threaded hole that is accurate.

This size was broken on a Chinese set of taps. I haven't tried it yet, but we have had no issues with this brand at work.

Irwin is a budget-friendly option for home improvement projects, and it did a great job cleaning out some 8mm bicycle rear wheel dropout threads.
