Roughing tap and finishing tap – how much material each removes

Division of work in the 1–2 set

The M1.7x0.2 thread is cut into the wall of a hole with a diameter of 1.5 mm. The thread groove extends 0.1 mm into the wall. A single tap would have to cut the entire groove at once, requiring substantial hand torque and risking breakage. The set divides this work into two passes.

The drawing shows the entire set in operation. Both taps have the same shank and the same length. They differ in their chamfer, the tapered tip: No. 1 has a chamfer spanning 8 threads, while No. 2 spans only 2 threads. The detail windows at the hole wall show how the thread groove deepens after each tap.

How to distinguish the taps in the set

The chamfer on No. 1 is 4 times as long as the chamfer on No. 2 — the difference is immediately visible when you place them side by side. No. 1 has an incomplete thread profile; only No. 2 has the full profile. The number is also indicated on the shank: No. 1 has one ring, No. 2 has none. Keep the set together and always start with the roughing tap.

Turning sequence: half a turn clockwise, a quarter turn counterclockwise | Between taps: remove chips from the hole

Start with the hole. The drill diameter is easy to calculate: thread diameter 1.7 mm minus pitch 0.2 mm gives 1.5 mm. An undersized hole is a common cause of a tap twisting off in the workpiece.

Through hole or blind hole – how deep to drill

The set taps both types of holes. In a through hole, the thread extends through the full material thickness. In a blind hole, cut the thread to 4.25 mm, or 2.5 times the thread diameter (2.5 x 1.7 mm, shown as 2.5D in the drawing). Drill the hole deeper than the thread. The finishing tap has a chamfer spanning 2 threads, so approx. 2 incomplete threads remain near the bottom. The extra depth below the thread accommodates them along with the chips.

No. 1 – the roughing tap establishes thread alignment

Fit the roughing tap in the tap wrench and position it perpendicular to the surface. Check the angle from two sides, for example with a square. Turn half a turn clockwise, then a quarter turn counterclockwise. Reversing breaks the chip into short pieces – a slight crunch is normal. The first threads determine whether the thread will be straight.

No. 2 – the finishing tap produces the full profile

Back out the roughing tap and remove chips from the hole. Screw the finishing tap into the cut threads by hand – it should engage them on its own. Continue turning at the same rhythm as with the roughing tap. The finishing tap removes the remaining material and cuts the groove to the full profile within tolerance 6H. When it screws in smoothly all the way, the thread is complete – check it with an M1.7x0.2 screw.

M1.7x0.2 fine-thread hand taps

Hand Tap M1.7x0.2 designed for producing internal metric fine threads with a pitch of 0.2 mm and a 60° profile; this allows the M1.7x0.2 hand tap to provide a stable profile and repeatability in precision miniature joints.

A 2-piece configuration (roughing tap + finishing tap) with the cutting work divided according to the standard for hand tap sets; straight flutes and a square shank for a tap wrench facilitate axial guidance. HSS construction provides good ductility and allows resharpening, while the resulting internal thread meets class 6H and mates with a 6g screw. 60° profile per ISO 68-1, dimensions/pitches per ISO 261/262, tolerances per ISO 965; set conforming to DIN 352.

  • Accuracy and fit — class 6H provides normal clearance with 6g, reducing the risk of binding in vibration-sensitive applications.
  • Safe hand tapping sequence — two-stage tapping limits torque at the cutting edge; M1.7x0.2 Hand Tap Set facilitates control when tapping holes in thin-walled components.
  • HSS durability — high-speed steel withstands varying loads and can be resharpened, extending its working life.
  • Chip control — the recommended reverse-and-advance cycles minimize galling and improve thread surface quality.

M1.7x0.2 Hand Tap Set in a 2-piece configuration, with 6H tolerance and a 60° profile, provides predictable results in miniature sizes as an M1.7x0.2 hand tap set.
