Thread Cutting Kit — 7 Piece Mini Tap & Die Screw Plate Set, 1.2–1.6mm Wire Threading

Threaded fittings turn up all over small work: clasps, screw fittings, watch parts, model components. This seven-piece set cuts both halves of the joint across the 1.2mm to 1.6mm range — the flat screw plate forms external threads on fine wire, while the matching taps cut internal threads in drilled pilot holes.

Each die hole in the steel plate is clearly numbered, so pairing tap to hole is quick, and the tapered tap ends help the first thread start square rather than cross-cut. Work slowly in non-ferrous metals, backing the tap off regularly to clear swarf, and the compact set will hold its edge through fine bench work.

• Covers the micro-threading range from 1.2mm to 1.6mm.
• Includes a flat steel screw plate with clearly numbered die holes.
• Supplied with a set of matching steel taps for internal threading.
• Taps feature tapered ends to ease thread starting in pilot holes.
• Compact design is ideal for detailed bench work on small components.

Who it's for

A workshop essential for UK bench jewellers, silversmiths, and watchmakers who regularly work with small-scale screw fittings. Also suited to model makers and instrument repairers requiring fine, precise threads in non-ferrous metals.
