BAER Threading Tools

Our range of Threading Tools include Taps, Round Dies, etc. A tap cuts threads on the inside of a hole, creating a female surface which functions like a nut, to accept a machine screw or bolt.

Taps can also be used to restore an internal thread that has been damaged or to cut a larger thread in the case of severe damage.
BAER Threading tools from Germany are among the highest quality available.

We have the following range available with us:
