Taps create threads in a piece of metal or
wood with a hole for threaded bolts to fasten. Dies provide threads on the
outside of a long bolt-shaped piece of metal or wood, allowing the bolt to be
fastened with a nut. On a fastener pair, taps cut the female threads whereas
dies cut the male threads. The ideal tap and die set for you will be determined
by your needs. The material of a tap and die set is vital to consider when
buying one because only sets constructed of high carbon steel will be able to
cut through tougher metals. HSS tap sets are resistant to abrasion and can
sustain greater temperatures without losing hardness. High-speed steel is
appropriate for continuous usage since it does not lose its hardness as a
result of heat build-up. HSS cuts more quickly and lasts longer HSS taps last
much longer than carbon taps and are less likely to break.
The bottom line is that HSS is a bit
expensive, but it cuts faster, stays sharper for longer, and lasts long.
