1st/ Taper Taps
Taper tap, also known as, 'starter taps' or ,'1st taps', have a longer/ larger champfered end to ease the forming tool through the pre drilled hole. The taper is so to ease a tap better into an untapped hole. eg. Using a bottoming tap 1st would damage the first threads and possibly the thread at the start of the hole.
2nd/ Intermediate Taps
2nd taps are intermediate taps which assist in aligning and starting of the tap into an untapped hole. The number of tapered threads typically ranges from 3 to 5.
3rd/ Bottoming Taps
A bottoming, or, 'plug', tap has no tapered, front edge. Instead it's tip is ground to a cutting edge meaning that it can create a thread to the bottom of a blind hole.
Metric Threads
Metric Coarse threads are in Millimetre (mm/ 1000ths of a metre) units and were developed to simplify the imperial systems. Europe moved to this system but the Americans choose Imperial as their default. A coarse thread has less helical coils per mm and a metric fine threads has more. A Coarse thread (most common/ standard thread) is used for heavier loads and fine is used for lighter loads prone to vibrations.

My item is shown as delivered but it hasn't been?
What can I do if my item is shown as delivered, but it hasn’t been received?
If you’re the recipient:
Check whether the item was sent using a service that obtains a signature on delivery. If it was, do you recognise the name of the person who accepted the item? The name will be provided by the person who accepted the delivery and not always the person on the address label.
If the item was sent to your home, ask anyone else living there if they accepted the delivery. Please also check if the item has been left with a neighbour, or in your designated Safeplace if you have one.
If the item was sent to your work address, check with the post room and your colleagues to see if someone accepted the delivery.
If you bought the item online, check the shipping address was correct.
UPS - Packages over 2 kgs
We use UPS as our preferred courier. Please make sure all details of the address are included as courier drivers will not fill in the gaps, leading to long delays or even loss
