22-Piece Fractional Tap and Die Set

This Westward set contains 22 pieces for cutting fractional threads. It includes 10 round dies made from carbon steel. Straight-flute taps handle both UNC and UNF standards. The assortment covers thread sizes from 1/4 inch up to 1/2 inch.

Suitable for general fractional threading tasks

Mechanics and maintenance staff who need UNC and UNF threads in the listed sizes will find the required taps and dies. Users requiring metric threads, pipe threads or sizes outside the 1/4 to 1/2 inch range should look at other sets.

Carbon steel tools under sustained cutting load

Carbon steel dies and taps resist wear during repeated hand threading operations. Cutting fluid and proper alignment reduce heat buildup during extended use. The tools are designed for standard fractional thread repair and creation jobs.

Questions about this item

Which handle or wrench sizes do I need to turn the 10 carbon-steel dies in this 22-piece fractional set?

The round dies accept standard die-stock handles; choose a stock that fits the 1/4 in., 5/16 in., 3/8 in., 7/16 in. and 1/2 in. die diameters supplied.

Will the UNC and UNF straight-flute taps cut threads in older mild-steel bolts I already have?

Yes, the carbon-steel taps are designed for UNC and UNF threads in mild steel and similar materials found in older hardware.

How can I verify each thread I cut matches the 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24 or 28 TPI sizes included?

Check the finished thread with a matching thread-pitch gauge or screw the corresponding nut from the set onto the new threads for a go/no-go test.
