Taps & Dies

Tap and die sets are essential tools for creating and repairing threaded components in watch and clock work. Designed for precision engineering, these sets allow horologists to cut accurate threads on both internal and external surfaces, ensuring components fit securely and function correctly.

A tap is used to cut internal threads (for example inside a hole), while a die forms external threads on rods or screws. Together, they make it possible to produce or restore threaded parts such as screws, posts and fittings used in watches and clocks.  

Precision tools for horology

In watch and clock repair, where components are often extremely small, metric tap and die sets provide the control needed to work with fine thread sizes. They are commonly used to rethread worn or damaged screws, extend the life of original parts, or manufacture replacements where necessary.

Our range focuses on compact, fine-pitch metric sets suitable for delicate work, making them ideal for bench use in both professional workshops and specialist hobby settings.
