One of the standout features of this tap guide fixture is its ability to guarantee accurate and straight tapping of threads. The fixture is pre-threaded with either M5x0.8 (20-series profile), M8x1.25 (30-series profile) or M12x1.75 (40-series profile), ensuring that your tapping tool is perfectly guided into the profile. This design minimizes the risk of misalignment, which can lead to uneven threads or compromised structural integrity. With this product, every tapped thread is consistent, reducing the need for rework and saving you valuable time on the shop floor.
