Precision Plastic Threading with Tamiya 54232

The Tamiya 54232 RC M3x0.5mm Thread Forming Tap is aimed at hobbyists working on R/C bathtub chassis and similar plastic components. It creates uniform threads in plastic so screws seat firmly and assembly is more reliable. Pre-tapping plastic parts reduces the chances of stripping or cracking during build work.

• Size: 3mm diameter and 0.5mm pitch, suitable for standard M3 fasteners.
• Compatibility: Intended for use with Tamiya Item 74086 Modeling Drill Chuck for better control.

Best Practices When Tapping

Apply the Tamiya 54232 only to plastic components to avoid wear or breakage. Fit it into the Tamiya 74086 Modeling Drill Chuck and run at a controlled speed with light pressure. This tap is not intended for metal or counter-rotation screws and should not be used for those purposes.
