Sealey Taps & Dies Guide
Taps and dies are used to cut, restore and clean internal and external threads in workshop and maintenance work. This guide groups Sealey taps and dies so you can compare thread types, sizes and kit formats before choosing the right tooling.
Choosing taps and dies
Use the points below as a practical starting point, then check the individual product page for the full technical information before ordering.
- Confirm the required thread diameter, pitch and standard before cutting or restoring a thread.
- Use the correct tap sequence where taper, second and plug taps are supplied for the job.
- Apply suitable cutting lubricant and reverse periodically to break chips where appropriate.
- Start taps and dies square to the workpiece to avoid cross-threading or cutting an angled thread.
