GFB Helicoil Thread Insert M12x1.5 1.5 D

The GFB Helicoil Thread Insert cuts a M12x1.5 metric thread, is 1.5 D long. A helicoil insert is a coil of diamond-section stainless wire: wound into an oversized tapped hole it forms a thread of the original size and greater strength. Its length is given as a multiple of the thread diameter — 1.5 D is general purpose, 2 D and above give more hold in soft alloys. Used to repair a stripped thread and to reinforce threads in aluminium, magnesium and cast housings from the start. The sequence: drill oversize, tap with the helicoil tap, wind the insert in with the tool, snap off the driving tang. Seza Global supplies GFB thread cutting tools wholesale.
