Helicoil Set - Metric M6 x 1.0mm

The RMD range of thread repair kits, commonly known as helicoils has two functions:-

• To repair a stripped threaded hole - such a repair may be effective in most materials including castings.
• To provide a hard wearing thread in a component which may often be disassembled - tapped holes in aluminium machined parts or castings being obvoius examples.

The repair involves drilling out the product to the next up tapping size, tapping the thread, then inserting the threaded insert to reduce down to the original tapped size - but now with a wear resistant insert.
