• Producing the insert receiving thread that matches the selected wire thread insert system
• Preparing repair holes for insert installation in service, maintenance and workshop tasks
• Applying an insert based repair process where fit and alignment have to stay repeatable from part to part
• Process: manual driving or assisted driving depending on your holder and machine setup
• Use: thread cutting, re tapping, and thread cleaning depending on condition

Note Select the product by thread designation, workpiece condition and the holder concept used in your process.

• Matched repair logic supports repeatable restoration of an existing thread designation
• Insert based repair can improve service life of the receiving thread in repeated assembly work
• Suitable for maintenance, overhaul and workshop repairs where part replacement is undesirable
• Clear assignment between preparation, tapping and insert installation reduces handling errors

• The process depends on the correct repair sequence and is not suitable when the parent material is cracked or too thin for the repair concept.
• It is a repair system and not the fastest choice when you only need a one time emergency fix without the full preparation steps.

1. Prepare the core hole and secure the workpiece so the tool can enter on axis.
2. Clamp the STI tap in a suitable holder or drive with secure torque transmission.
3. Align the tap square to the hole entry and start the cut with controlled feed.
4. Advance the tap according to your process while keeping lubrication and alignment stable.
5. Reverse and remove the tap carefully once the receiving thread is completed.
6. Clean the thread and check it before insert installation begins.
