Precision Left-hand M3 Threading with the 3Racing ST-026/M3L

The 3Racing ST-026/M3L is a dedicated M3 x 0.5 anti-clockwise tapping tool for model makers who need clean left-hand threads. It creates consistent threads that help fasteners locate precisely and hold under load. The tap suits detailed work where component fit and finish are important.

Designed for Model Enthusiasts

Attention to detail is crucial in small scale modelling. The 3Racing ST-026/M3L reduces the risk of cross-threading and material damage when used with steady hands and frequent chip clearing. It is a practical choice for ongoing maintenance and upgrades.

Using a light cutting fluid when tapping aluminium helps the tap cut cleaner and reduces wear. For plastics, lubrication is usually not necessary.
It can restore or re-cut threads if the base material is intact. For badly damaged holes consider alternatives such as inserts or larger fasteners.
Clean the flutes after each use, avoid excessive torque and store the tap away from moisture to prevent corrosion. Regular inspection will extend its useful life.
