🔧 What it does & how to use
This set lets you cut or repair internal threads in small metal parts — essential for watch and clock repair, model engineering, instrument making and general hobby metalwork. The metal screw plate doubles as a sizing gauge, letting you quickly identify the correct thread size (numbered 7 to 20) before you start. Suitable for hobbyists and professional repairers working on the smallest movement screws through to larger model-engineering threads.
- Identify the size: use the numbered screw plate to match the thread you need to cut or repair.
- Select the matching tap: choose the micro tap corresponding to that gauge number.
- Start the thread: hold the tap square to the hole and turn gently to begin cutting.
- Advance carefully: turn in small increments, backing off periodically to clear swarf and avoid breaking the tap.
- Check the fit: test with the corresponding screw once the thread is cut, then clean away any debris.
- Store safely: return taps to the wooden box with felt lining to keep them organised and protected between uses.
