HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the Hole: Ensure the hole you are tapping is properly sized for an M14 x 1.50mm thread. The hole should be clean, free of debris, and have a chamfered opening to help guide the tap.
2. Apply Lubricant: Apply a suitable cutting fluid or tapping oil to the tap and the hole. This will reduce friction, improve the quality of the thread, and extend the tap’s life.
3. Secure the Tap: Insert the square end of the tap into a tap wrench or handle and tighten it securely.
4. Start Tapping: Place the tap perpendicular to the workpiece and apply even, downward pressure. Begin turning the tap clockwise, ensuring it stays straight.
5. Clean the Chips: After every one or two full turns, reverse the direction of the tap by about half a turn to break off and clear the chips. This prevents the tap from binding or breaking.
6. Complete the Thread: Continue this process of turning clockwise and backing off until the desired thread depth is reached.
