Tamiya 54232 M3x0.5mm Thread Forming Tap for Plastic Chassis  [54232]

Tamiya 54232 Tap for Accurate Plastic Threading

The Tamiya 54232 RC M3x0.5mm Thread Forming Tap is a handy workshop tool for model builders working with R/C bathtub chassis and other plastic parts. It forms clean, consistent threads in plastic to make assembly easier and reduce the chance of cracking or stripped holes. Pre-tapping plastic components gives you tighter screw seating and smoother builds.

How to Use the Tap Effectively

Use the Tamiya 54232 only on plastic parts to avoid damaging the tool or the workpiece. Mount it in the recommended Tamiya 74086 Modeling Drill Chuck for best control and alignment. Do not use this tap on metal or for counter-rotating screws, as it is optimized for forming threads in plastic materials.
