The tap hole is clean and free of all chips (particularly for blind holes).
A suitable cutting fluid has been selected for application during the tapping process.
Turn the handle of the wrench to wideren the jaws, fit the threading tap with with single
groove to start.

Drill a hole smaller than the measure needed for the tap
Put some Rocol cutting compound on the end of the tap.
Holding the level and square to the material turn the tap wrench until the first cut into the
material has been made.
Once a grip on the material has been made turn half a turn into the material and then a
quarter turn back this will ensure that the tap doesn’t get clogged with the offcuts of
material and a better thread is created.
Keep turning until all the way through the material and most of the way through the thread,
there should be no resistance once the cut has been made the full distance through the
material when turning in or out using the tap wrench.
Once through the material using this tap repeat the process using the tap with 2 grooves and
then finally again using the tap with no grooves.
Check the threading using the appropriate sized bolt.
Fit the die with the sizing information on the die facing up and the top screw fitting into the
slot, making sure all the screws are loose to allow the die to sit flush.

indences in the die.

vice.
Place the dice on top of the rod and turn to create the first cut.
Once a grip on the material has been made turn half a turn into the material and then a
quarter turn back this will ensure that the die doesn’t get clogged with the offcuts of
material and a better thread is created.
Keep turning until the depth of thread is achieved, there should be no resistance once the cut
has been made level and squre to the rod
