How to use (simple, reliable workflow)

1. Choose the correct drill size for M16x2 per ISO guidelines and drill a clean pilot hole in the workpiece.
2. Secure the workpiece and place the tap in a tap wrench for firm, controlled turns.
3. Lubricate lightly with tapping fluid or cutting oil and begin cutting with steady, clockwise turns. Apply gentle pressure to maintain alignment.
4. Periodically back off to break chips, then continue until the full thread depth is achieved. Clean the hole and verify with the corresponding bolt or insert.
