Precision Thread Preparation for Model Builders

The 3RACING M2.6 x 0.45 tapping tool is aimed at builders who require neat, repeatable threads in small parts. It supports clean assembly and reliable fastening across typical model components.

Secure Fastening for Small Screws

Accurate threads help ensure that M2.6 screws engage properly and resist loosening. Using the tap reduces stripped fittings and improves the overall integrity of assemblies.

Where to Use It

Suitable for plastics and lighter metals used in the hobby, the tapping tool is useful for both initial builds and repair work. Always trial the tap on a spare part if the material is thin or unusual.

Will this tool work for repeated race preparations?

Yes. When used correctly it provides consistent threads that hold up to routine disassembly and reassembly, making it suitable for ongoing maintenance between events.

Should I use cutting fluid with this tap?

For metal work, a small amount of light cutting oil can improve finish and reduce wear; for plastics, avoid excess fluid and work gently to prevent deformation.

Are there tips for repeating identical threads?

Mark or jig the hole locations, maintain consistent alignment, and use the same method for each hole to ensure repeatable thread depth and orientation.
