Three-piece M12-1.75 tap set
This Westward hand tap set contains three high-speed steel taps for cutting right-hand metric coarse threads. Each tap has a 12 mm diameter with a 1.75 mm pitch and a D6 thread limit. The bright uncoated finish suits general-purpose threading tasks in maintenance or light production.
Replaces worn or missing single taps
A complete set covers taper, plug and bottoming operations so you can start, continue and finish a thread without switching brands. The jump is worth it when a single damaged tap stalls a job or when you need consistent limits across all three stages.
Fits standard tap wrenches and holders
The 3 3/8 in overall length and 1 21/32 in thread length work with common metric tooling. Four flutes provide chip clearance in through or blind holes. The set frees you from sourcing individual limits separately.

Questions about this item
What size tap wrench or handle fits the 3 3/8 in overall length of these M12-1.75 taps?
A standard tap wrench sized for 3 3/8 in overall length taps will accept the square shank on these three HSS taps.
How do I start the M12-1.75 D6 tap straight in a drilled hole, and what step is often missed?
Drill the correct tapping hole, apply cutting fluid, and start the taper tap square to the workpiece; the step often missed is using the taper tap first before the plug or bottoming tap.
When should the three M12-1.75 HSS taps be replaced or sharpened?
Replace or resharpen when threads show tearing, cutting torque rises sharply, or the D6 limit no longer produces a passable GO/NO-GO gauge fit.
