Threaded fittings turn up all over small work: clasps, screw fittings, watch parts, model components. This seven-piece set cuts both halves of the joint across the 1.2mm to 1.6mm range — the flat screw plate forms external threads on fine wire, while the matching taps cut internal threads in drilled pilot holes.

Each die hole in the steel plate is clearly numbered, so pairing tap to hole is quick, and the tapered tap ends help the first thread start square rather than cross-cut. Work slowly in non-ferrous metals, backing the tap off regularly to clear swarf, and the compact set will hold its edge through fine bench work.

  • Covers the micro-threading range from 1.2mm to 1.6mm.
  • Includes a flat steel screw plate with clearly numbered die holes.
  • Supplied with a set of matching steel taps for internal threading.
  • Taps feature tapered ends to ease thread starting in pilot holes.
  • Compact design is ideal for detailed bench work on small components.

Charlotte ★★★★★

Finally got around to chasing a stuck thread on a vintage clock plate, and the 1.4mm die worked perfectly without chewing up the brass. The whole set fits neatly in my bench drawer, too.

Ellie X. ★★★★★

For threading those tiny 1.2mm screw holes in model parts, these mini taps cut cleanly without binding. Each die is clearly marked, making it easy to pick the right size. The flat screw plate sits stable while you work, which saved my frustration.

Robert ★★★★★

Was fixing a tiny watch clasp and these mini dies cut the threads perfectly on the first try—the 1.2mm tap is exactly the right size for the job. The taps feel solid and the threading is surprisingly precise for such small pieces.
