Packing
Loose or fitted sets; specify the required presentation
Specify individual taps or complete sets
A quotation for a complete hand-tap set is different from a quotation for one tap position. Include the thread designation and whether you need taper, second, plug or the complete set. Please distinguish the number of sets from the number of individual pieces in your enquiry.
For repeat orders, include your existing product reference or drawing so that the material, thread form and packing can be reviewed against the same requirement.
MHL Exports supplies machine taps for production threading requirements. Our range includes spiral point and spiral flute taps for buyers sourcing tools for CNC and capstan machine operations.

Match the enquiry to your production requirement
The thread designation alone does not describe a complete machine-tap requirement. Send the workpiece material, machine details, required thread depth and whether the hole is blind or through, together with your current tool drawing or reference.
For distributors building a machine-tap range, list each size and quantity separately. This allows the quotation to distinguish variants and prevents different geometries from being grouped under one size.

Make the tolerance requirement clear
Include the full thread designation, required tolerance or class, and the standard or drawing revision used for your order. A description such as “GT tap” should be accompanied by these details so that the quotation covers the tool you actually require.
Please identify any documentation needed with the shipment. Material data and inspection requirements can be discussed at enquiry stage, before pricing and lead time are confirmed.
Spiral point taps form part of the MHL Exports machine-tap range. We work with buyers who need a clearly specified tool for repeat production orders or a distributor catalogue.

Identify the exact spiral point variant
Mention spiral point explicitly in your enquiry and attach the existing tool reference where available. Include the hole type, thread depth and machine setup so the proposed specification can be checked before an order is agreed.
For a mixed order, provide one line per thread size and identify any differences in length, shank or requested surface treatment. Availability and the final specification are confirmed in the quotation.
MHL Exports includes spiral flute taps in its machine-tap product line. Buyers can submit an existing specification or a new requirement for review by our Ludhiana team.

If your current tool has a specified helix angle, flute count, coating or dimensional standard, include these in the enquiry rather than assuming all spiral flute taps share the same geometry. A drawing or catalogue reference helps describe the requested variant.
Also include workpiece material, blind or through hole, required thread depth and order quantity. These details allow the team to review the requirement and respond with the applicable product specification and lead time.

Keep the thread families separate in your size list
Do not group a BSP requirement and a BSW requirement simply by their inch designation. State the complete thread family on each enquiry line, and identify the applicable standard or existing tool reference when available.
For pipe-thread orders, specify the exact series required. The homepage includes reference charts for British and American pipe threads; final specifications should be checked against your drawing and purchase requirement.

Please distinguish split and solid dies, and state whether you require loose pieces or dies supplied as part of a wooden box set. For mixed orders, list the quantity beside each combination of thread and outside diameter.
