Roughing tap and finishing tap – how much material each removes
Division of work in the 1–2 set
The M30x3 LH thread is cut into the wall of a hole with a diameter of 27 mm. The thread groove extends 1.5 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.

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 30 mm minus pitch 3 mm gives 27 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 75 mm, or 2.5 times the thread diameter (2.5 x 30 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 M30x3 LH screw.
M30x3 left-hand hand taps
M30x3 hand tap left-hand fine thread HSS - a set of two professional hand taps for LH left-hand metric fine threads, M 30x3. These taps are manufactured to the DIN 2118 dimensional standard, and the threads produced have tolerance class 6H. The fine thread hand taps available in our store are suitable for professional and hobby machining. They are recommended for machining components made of unalloyed steels, metals, nonferrous metals, metal alloys, and thermosetting plastics. The tap offers above-average resistance to the high temperatures generated during cutting at high rotational speeds. In addition M30x3 hand taps left-hand versions resist abrasive wear and other mechanical damage to the cutting edges (breakage, cracking, chipping, and spalling). M30x3 hand taps left-hand versions are suitable for machining unalloyed steels, metals, copper, aluminum and their alloys, as well as other hard materials.
