Description
A tap guide is a tool used in metalworking to help start a tap (a tool for cutting threads) straight into a hole. It ensures the tap enters the hole correctly aligned, preventing it from veering off course and creating crooked or damaged threads. Essentially, it guides the tap to ensure precise threading.
- Precision Craftsmanship: Constructed from precise hardened alloy steel, ensuring durability and longevity in demanding applications.

- Enhanced Handling: 1/2" diameter hardened shank, knurled for easy and secure handling, even in challenging conditions.
- Customizable Functionality: Features an adjustable tension spring and a 3/16" hardened tension pin for tailored tapping operations.
- Seamless Execution: To use, grip the center's body in a drill chuck or collet, and insert the hardened point into the middle of the tapping handle.
- Accurate Thread Alignment: The stroke of the center follows the tap, ensuring the creation of straight and accurate hand-tapped threads.
- Universal Size: Designed to be a one-size-fits-all solution for all tapping applications, providing versatility and convenience.
-
Versatile Application: Ideal for threading operations on lathe, mill, and jig bore machines, making it an essential tool for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike.
