Roughing tap and finishing tap – how much material each removes
Division of work in the 1–2 set
The M22x1 LH thread is cut into the wall of a hole with a diameter of 21 mm. The thread groove extends 0.5 mm into the wall. A single tap would have to cut the entire groove at once — by hand, this means high resistance and a risk of 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.
| Tap | Chamfer | Chamfer angle | Material removed | How it works in the hole |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. 1 – roughing tap | long, 8 threads | 5° | the main portion of the groove | enters smoothly and establishes thread alignment |
| No. 2 – finishing tap | short, 2 threads | 20° | the remainder, to the full profile | follows the cut threads and produces the full 6H profile |
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.
How to tap an M22x1 LH hole – sequence 1, 2
Hand tapping step by step
Thread M22x1 LH in four steps
Drill bit 21 mm
Chamfer 8 threads
Chamfer 2 threads
Tolerance 6H
Turning sequence: half a turn counterclockwise, a quarter turn clockwise | Between taps: remove chips from the hole
Start with the hole. The drill diameter is easy to calculate: thread diameter 22 mm minus pitch 1 mm gives 21 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 55 mm, or 2.5 times the thread diameter (2.5 x 22 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 into a tap wrench and position it perpendicular to the surface. Check the angle from two sides, for example with a square. This is a left-hand thread, so turn in the opposite direction to usual: half a turn counterclockwise, then a quarter turn clockwise. 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
Unscrew the roughing tap and remove chips from the hole. Screw the finishing tap by hand into the cut threads — it should engage them naturally. Continue with the same turning sequence as for the roughing tap. The finishing tap removes the remaining material and cuts the groove to its full profile within 6H tolerance. Once it screws smoothly all the way in, the thread is complete — check it with an M22x1 LH screw.
Left-hand metric fine hand taps M22x1
Professional set of M22x1 left-hand hand taps for fine threads, for cutting metric threads type M 22x1 ISO DIN-13, with a 60° angle. Tapping is performed manually using a dedicated tap wrench in two successive passes (first the starting tap with a 8P chamfer, followed by the finishing tap with a 2P chamfer). The stock to be removed is distributed appropriately between the two taps. The tools offered feature high manufacturing quality and are suitable for both hobby tapping and professional machining in large metalworking shops. M22x1 left-hand hand taps for fine threads are manufactured according to ISO 529 from special HSS (High Speed Steel) tool steel. This enables very high machining efficiency and increased cutting precision. The taps also offer high resistance to demanding cutting conditions. Designed for machining materials in groups P1.2 – P1.3 (metals, unalloyed steels, nonferrous metals, metal alloys, and even hard plastics).
