It serves a wide range of applications such as general thread cutting and fixing for rod, bolt, nut and other fasteners, auto repairs for mechanics, machinery and equipment maintenance, metal fabrication, woodworking and a lot more. All the taps and dies are constructed from highly durable GCr15 bearing steel for extended tool life, and are built to cut through all metal hardware, rods, pipes, plates made from carbon steel, cast iron, alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, magnesium, zinc or other materials. The taps in this set are most common and general-purpose plug style, featuring a tapered end of 3 to 5 chamfered threads, providing an easier gradual entry when tapping into a blind hole. All the cutting teeth are professionally CNC (computer numerical controlled) machined and heat treated to Rockwell hardness 60 HRC to guarantee precise, aggressive and clean threading results. Set Includes: (17) Taps for Internal Threads; (17) Dies for External Threads; (1) Long-Handle Adjustable Tap Wrench; (1) T-Handle Tap Wrench; (1) Long-Handle Adjustable Die Stock; (1) Mini Screwdriver for Die Stock; (1) SAE Unified Threads Pitch Gauge; (1) Carrying and Storage Case; Tap and Die Sizes: ▲ Coarse Unified Threads (UNC): #4 - 40 UNC, #6 - 32 UNC, #8 - 32 UNC, #10 - 24 UNC, #12 - 24 UNC, 1/4” - 20 UNC, 5/16” - 18 UNC, 3/8” - 16 UNC, 7/16” - 14 UNC, 1/2” - 13 UNC ▲ Fine Unified Thread (UNF): #10 - 32 UNF, 1/4” - 28 UNF, 5/16” - 24 UNF, 3/8” - 24 UNF, 7/16” - 20 UNF, 1/2” - 20 UNF ▲ American Pipe Thread (NPT): 1/8” - 27 NPT; Review: High Quality Tap & Die Set That Can Cut Stainless - I needed to cut some 6-32 threads in some stainless steel rods used to secure engine baffles underneath the engine for a Vans RV-9 Home-built Aircraft. I tried to make the threads with my Harbor Freight die that is made of carbon steel but it would not even scratch the surface of the stainless rods. I needed a much harder die that could cut stainless steel. I did some research and found that high quality dies that are made of Cobalt Steel, Titanium Steel, or High Speed Steel (HHS) could cut stainless. I happened to find this set and the product description said it is made of GCr15 Bearing Steel hardened to Rockwell 60 and could cut stainless. I didn't know what GCr15 steel was but I found the following definition online: GCr15 steel is one of the most commonly used Chinese bearing steels, it’s a high carbon chromium bearing steel with high hardenability, high & uniform hardness after heat treatment. I also looked up the rockwell 60 number which is based on a standard hardness scale that goes up to 62 so 60 is at the top of the range when it comes to hard steel. I was still a little skeptical since the price of this set was very low compared to other sets or individual dies I could find for cutting stainless. I decided to take a chance and try this set out since it had lots of good reviews saying the taps and dies in this set seemed to work well for most everyone who bought them and also several good comments about the customer service willing to refund customers who had any dissatisfaction with the product. My set arrived from desertcart in 2 days from ordering. I tried them out over the weekend and they cut very nice accurate threads in my stainless steel rods very easily while using a couple drops of tap magic oil. This set performs as advertised, it is made of industrial quality steel that can cut stainless steel. The other reviews also said the handles the set comes with are lower quality but I would say the handles are comparable to the ones that come in a Harbor Freight set. I also found on desertcart a very handy 5 piece set of GearWrench ratcheting handles for taps and dies that fit perfectly with this set and made the job easy. For the money, I don't think there is anything out there that compares to the quality of the steel in this set for cutting hard material.

Will this set work for that? I couldn’t tell from the description.** A: You need a 1 inch npt die that you will insert into the hand threader, cut your pipe straight, Pipe will only fit in die one way and most important is to use a lubricant for cutting pipe threads, I've used "rapid tap" works great! And you will need a vice to hold your pipe. Short pipe nipples you can purchase because hand threader will thread I believe 6 inch minimum length. Good luck! **Q: Are the sizes stamped or printed on?** A: They are stamped. **Q: Can this set work on brass metal?** A: I would say yes. Since brass is softer than ferrous metals it should be no problem. **Q: Does this set have machine as well as pipe thread sizes?** A: no ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High Quality Tap & Die Set That Can Cut Stainless *by A***R on 25 August 2020* I needed to cut some 6-32 threads in some stainless steel rods used to secure engine baffles underneath the engine for a Vans RV-9 Home-built Aircraft.
