113
Thread pitch gauge

• Used to find how many threads in an inch
• come in metric and standard

114
Metric Bolts

• 10mm x 1.50 x 60mm
• 10mm size of bolt
• 1.50 pitch of thread
• 60mm length of the bolt in millimeters
• Be careful of some, cannot tell apart by naked
  eye without thread pitch gauge might screw on
  each other but hard, will strip out the bolt or
  nut.
• The head of the bolt should have a number on it
  like 4.8, 8.8 helps you to identify metric bolts.

115
Tap and Die rules

• Use cutting oil when using Taps and Dies
• Keep Tap square with hole
• Keep backing off Tap to break chips off (1 turn
  in 1/2 turn back
• Keep Taps and Dies clean and lightly oiled
• Keep Taps in storage box separate from others so
  you will not damage the cutting edge
• Make sure all the tools are in the box when you
  return it to the tool room

116
Thread chasers and rethreading dies can be used
only to repair damaged threads
117
Screw Extractors

• For removing broken screws and studs
• first center punch broken bolt, lube with W.D. 40
  to loosen bolt, drill out with largest size drill
  with out damaging threads all the way through,
  then insert screw extractor
• square shank - hit with hammer
• spiral - will twist in and grab
