Taps and dies are a set of tools used to create threads.
They are primarily employed to form internal and external threads in materials such as metal or plastic. A tap is a tool used to cut internal threads into a hole. After drilling a hole, the tap is inserted and rotated clockwise to create threads in the hole. A die, on the other hand, is a tool used to cut external threads on cylindrical materials. The material is inserted into the die, which is then rotated clockwise to create external threads.
Taps and dies are indispensable tools in the manufacturing or repair of parts and equipment requiring threads. They ensure precise dimensions and thread patterns, enabling stable assembly.
