Questions about this item
What does the M16-2.00 thread size mean for the holes I need to tap?
The tap cuts a metric M16 thread with a 2.00 mm pitch, producing a 6H class fit when used with a 14.00 mm drill for 75 percent thread engagement.
How does the straight flute design affect chip removal in different materials?
Straight flutes suit hand tapping in short-chipping materials such as cast iron or brass; they do not pull chips forward like spiral flutes, so frequent reversal clears swarf.
What are the overall and thread lengths, and will the tap fit my tap wrench?
Overall length is 3 13/16 in with a 1 13/16 in thread length; the square shank fits standard tap wrenches for M16 hand taps.
