LH Taps, Metric and Pipe Sizes

HS Metric Left Hand Taps

Metric Left Hand Plug taps. High Speed Steel. Ground Thread.

Our metric fractional high speed steel left hand taps are Plug style only.
These are the most common style of left hand metric taps, with 3-4 lead threads ground.
To determine the proper drill size for a metric hole-to-be-tapped, just subtract the pitch of the tap from the diameter of the tap to yield the drill diameter. As an example: a hole-to-be-tapped as 4mm x .7 needs to be drilled with a 3.3mm drill bit.
