Drill America DWTT1-1/2-12 Carbon Steel Taper Hand Tap

Drill America 1-1/2"-12 Taper Hand Tap

This carbon steel taper hand tap cuts new threads or restores damaged ones in mild steel workpieces. The taper lead starts the thread square with the material for accurate alignment. It suits maintenance technicians and machinists who need to repair stripped holes or create threads in softer metals. Buyers requiring high-volume production tapping or work in hardened alloys should select a different tool material.

Thermals noise and power draw

Hand taps operate without motors, so they generate no measurable heat, noise or electrical power draw during use. Cutting resistance depends on the workpiece material and lubrication rather than any built-in thermal characteristic. The operator controls feed rate and pressure manually, eliminating concerns about acoustic output or energy consumption. No cooling system or power supply is involved in the threading process.

Included tap styles and their effect

The set supplies one taper, one plug and one bottoming tap for the same 1-1/2"-12 thread size. The taper tap begins the thread squarely, the plug tap continues through holes, and the bottoming tap cuts threads to the bottom of blind holes. Having all three styles lets the user complete a full threading sequence without switching tools. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals present in the carbon steel.
