Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a tap and a die?

A tap cuts or restores internal threads inside a hole. A die cuts or restores external threads on a screw, rod or other component.

How do I identify thread size?

Measure the diameter and determine the thread pitch. Ferree’s Tools offers technical charts that may help identify instrument threads.

Can a damaged thread always be restored?


Not always. Severely damaged or missing material may require replacement or a different repair procedure.

About The Collection

Taps and Dies for Instrument Thread Repair

Shop precision taps and dies for cutting, restoring and repairing threads on screws, rods, valves and other musical instrument components.

Correct thread diameter, pitch and form are essential when fitting small instrument parts. Using an incompatible tap or die can permanently damage the component.

Identify the Correct Thread Size

Measure the existing component and consult available thread charts before ordering. Do not rely solely on visual comparison.

Keep the tool square to the component, work gradually and clear cut material as needed. Thread cutting and restoration require controlled technique, proper support and an understanding of the component material.
