At a Glance: HSS 3 x 0.5mm ISO tap for cutting internal metric threads, with 2.5mm recommended drill size and 2mm square drive

The Tork Craft NR1030C HSS tap is designed for cutting clean internal 3 x 0.5mm ISO metric threads in suitable materials. Made from HSS, this tap is ideal for workshop, engineering, maintenance, repair and DIY applications where a threaded hole needs to be created or restored. It is supplied 1 per card and is a useful addition to any tapping kit when working with small metric fasteners, machine screws, brackets, components and general repair parts.

Precision internal threading for small metric fasteners

This 3 x 0.5mm ISO tap is used after drilling the correct pilot hole, allowing the user to cut an internal thread that accepts the matching metric screw or bolt. The recommended drill size is 2.5mm, helping create the correct starting hole before tapping.

Product highlights

  • 3 x 0.5mm ISO thread Suitable for cutting small metric internal threads.
  • HSS construction High speed steel tap for general workshop threading applications.
  • 2.5mm recommended drill size Correct pilot hole size for preparing the material before tapping.
  • 2mm square drive Designed for use with a suitable tap wrench or tap holder.
  • Supplied 1/Card Convenient single tap packaging for replacement or specific thread cutting needs.

Extra Information

  • Recommended drill size for this tap is 2.5mm.

  • Start the tap square to the hole and turn slowly with even pressure.
  • Turn forward gradually, then reverse slightly to break chips while cutting.
  • Continue until the required thread depth is reached, then carefully reverse the tap out of the hole.
