Burkit M17 X 1 Tap and Die Set M17x1.0 Right Hand Threading Die HSS

Description

Product Overview

The Burkit M17 X 1 Tap and Die Set is engineered for precision and durability in demanding industrial environments. Featuring a high‑speed steel (HSS) tap made from 6542 (M2) grade material and an alloy tool steel round die, the set delivers consistent thread quality for M17 × 1.0 right‑hand applications. The straight‑fluted design of both tools promotes rapid chip evacuation, minimizing the risk of blockage and extending tool life. With a cutting diameter of 17 mm and a pitch of 1 mm, the set is perfectly matched to a wide range of metals, including cast iron, copper, brass, abrasive steel, and A3 steel. The compact package dimensions (5 × 3.94 × 0.83 in) and lightweight construction (4.8 oz) make storage and handling effortless, while the metric measurement system ensures compatibility with standard industrial equipment.

Usage

This tap and die set is ideal for machinists, maintenance technicians, and small‑shop fabricators who require reliable threading on a variety of substrates. Whether you are creating internal threads in a cast‑iron housing, external threads on copper tubing, or reinforcing brass fittings, the set provides clean, accurate results with minimal effort. The right‑hand thread orientation aligns with most conventional machinery, allowing seamless integration into existing workflows. Its fast chip removal capability reduces cycle times, making it suitable for both prototype development and high‑volume production runs. The set also performs well in abrasive steel environments, where the hardened tool materials resist wear and maintain dimensional stability.
