RUKO HGB-set-DIN352-HSS-60°-5/16x handgetaptapset, UNC 5/16-18, 3-delig, HSS, DIN 352

Cutting internal threads by hand in through or blind holes can be slow and error-prone without a matched set of taps. This RUKO HGB set solves that with three taps in taper, second, and bottoming styles, so you can start threads easily and finish them to full depth.

Who is it for

Machinists, metalworkers, and maintenance technicians who need reliable UNC threads in steel, cast iron, or non-ferrous metals.

Tips

Always use a suitable cutting fluid when tapping steel to extend tap life and improve thread finish. For blind holes, start with the taper tap, then the second, and finish with the bottoming tap to cut threads close to the bottom.
