How do I choose the right size tap or die?
Identify the thread size needed for your project (e.g., M6x1.0). Match the tap or die size accordingly. Refer to a thread size chart if needed.
How do I clean the taps and dies?
Use a brush and solvent to remove metal shavings and debris after each use. Dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil before storage.
