General Purpose
Key Features & Benefits
- Carbon-steel construction — cost-effective for occasional threading in softer metals where HSS edge life isn’t required.
- Ground thread form — concentric flutes and accurate thread geometry from Sutton’s Thomastown plant.
- ISO529 straight flute — standard geometry for hand tapping with a tap wrench or T-handle.
- 6H tolerance class — produces a class-fit thread that mates with off-the-shelf fasteners.
- Australian made — Sutton has been manufacturing Australian cutting tools continuously since 1917.
When to Use This Carbon Hand Tap
Best for one-off and low-volume hand threading in mild steel, brass, aluminium and similar softer metals — typical home workshop, maintenance and restoration jobs. For stainless steel, hardened steels or production tapping, step up to the matching Sutton HSS hand tap from the T-series for far longer edge life. This particular variant (M2161111) cuts a 7/16-14 UNC Taper thread.
Pro Tip: Carbon-steel taps tolerate less heat than HSS — keep the cutting speed low when tapping by hand, use a generous wipe of cutting paste or oil and back the tap off every full turn to clear chips. Avoid using carbon taps on stainless steel.
