Burkit 5/8-20 UN Tap And Die Set – Right-Hand Threading Tool, High-Speed Steel & Alloy Tool Steel, For Machine & Manual Threading

About This Product

This Burkit 5/8-20 UN tap and die set is a solid threading solution for both through holes and external threads.

The tap is made from 6542 high-speed steel (M2) with a straight flute design, which clears chips quickly and prevents clogging.

It's meant for through holes and shallow blind holes—not deep blind holes.

The cutting diameter is 5/8 inch with 20 threads per inch, right-hand direction, and 2B accuracy class.

The die is made from alloy tool steel with 2A accuracy, also 5/8-20 right-hand.

It's great for repairing or cutting new external threads on bolts and rods.

The die's conical locking hole gives you a strong grip on your wrench, so it won't slip or loosen during use.
Both the tap and die work well on copper, brass, A3 steel, aluminum, cast iron, and similar materials.

When using the tap, control your speed based on the material—harder metals need slower speeds.
Use cutting oil or lubricant to keep things cool and extend tool life.

And remember to reverse every quarter to half turn to break the chip and clear the flutes.

Manual or machine use works fine.

Comes as one tap and one die per pack.
Durable, accurate, and ready for workshop use.
