Service and Repair with the 3Racing ST-026/M3L Left-hand Tap

The 3Racing ST-026/M3L is an M3 x 0.5 anti-clockwise tap built to form reliable left-hand threads in model components. It helps keep suspension mounts, brackets and accessory fittings secure after maintenance or replacement. The tool is compact for field or bench use and improves the repeatability of small repairs.

Practical Use for Hobby Builders

When you need neat threading without risking part damage, the 3Racing ST-026/M3L provides controlled cutting action. Work with a steady hand and clear debris frequently to maintain thread quality, especially on thin plastic parts.

Is this tap limited to metric M3 threads?

Yes, this tool is intended for left-hand M3 x 0.5 threading. It will not match other thread pitches or sizes.

What if the tap binds or breaks in the hole?

Stop immediately if the tap binds. Reverse to clear swarf, back the tap out and inspect the hole. Avoid forcing a damaged tap further as removal can become difficult.

Any tips for starting a straight thread?

Use a guide or plate to keep the tap perpendicular, start slowly and check alignment often. Regularly reverse the tap to clear chips and maintain a clean cut.
