Drill America DWTT1/2-13 1/2-13 Carbon Steel Taper Tap (Pack of 1), DWT Series, Uncoated (Bright)

I use this tap on a small block Chevy bell housing just to clean the threads if they get rusty or whatever just for clean up and Ill get a good bolt makes a good bolt thread for your new bolts

The bottoming tap cutting edges were not formed properly or were rolling over.

Used it to mount a AXA tool post changer.

Works great for the price

I expected a cheap tap, given the price, but this 1-8 tap still disappointed me. I used it to chase an already threaded hole in cast iron, way down in a deep well. It would not fit in my Lisle tap socket. The nominal spec for the flats on a 1 tap is .600; I measure my other 1 taps at .595+-.001. This one was .603 one way and .602 the other; too big for a tap socket. I had to mutilate it on a belt grinder to get it to fit.

I ordered a BOTTOM TAP. I received an angled spiral cut tap which is not what is described, not what I ordered, and not what the protective box it came inside said it was. I was able to get the job done but had to modify the item I was working on to do so.

Nice, easy and quick transaction. Tap set was perfect for reclaiming a 10-24 thread on a tool that woud have cost $50 or more to replace.

Nice tap. Made out of metal. Surprised that it came from China but looks as though it could have been made in India. Came with neat plastic storage box that pulls apart. I don’t know why but mine has a faint smell of a grilled cheese sandwich. If that troubles you then maybe you should see if they have different flavors? I bought this to repair bolt holes but I’m sure it will come in handy to throw across the shop or at something when I get frustrated. Makes a nice Christmas gift for the handyman that has everything! I just wish it could have been made in Mexico or at least California as I like to purchase high quality crap to use once and then throw away, but I suspect I’ll lose this one like I misplace everything else! Y’all have a great day and keep on tapping!

This is a taper tap which easily advances in a prepared hole of correct size or for use in chasing damaged threads. Good value for the money.

good!
