Clean metal chips from threading dies and taps with the Indigo™ 22574 stainless steel precision pick. Remove packed debris from thread grooves for clean cutting and extended tool life.

Threading dies and taps accumulate metal chips in their flutes and relief grooves during use, leading to torn threads, increased cutting forces, and premature tool failure. Compressed air alone often can't dislodge chips that have been compressed into grooves by cutting pressure. The Indigo™ 22574 precision pick provides machinists and maintenance technicians with effective mechanical cleaning, the straight pointed tip extracts chips from thread grooves and flutes, while the right-angle tip accesses relief angles and chip pockets from different directions.

Use the Indigo™ 22574 metal chip cleaning dental pick on your expensive spiral-point taps and dies to extend tool life and ensure consistent thread quality.

Indigo™ dental tools are made with AISI 410 German surgical grade stainless steel, not "alloy steel" made from rusted cars. We've been selling dental tools on-line since 1998. Ours stay sharp longer & are autoclavable: see Documentation below that confirms chromium & manganese content.

How to Use

After using a tap or die, immediately clean it before chips harden or oxidize. Apply cutting oil or solvent if chips are stuck. Use the straight tip to work along flutes, extracting chips from the grooves between threads. Work from the chamfer end toward the back when possible. Use the right-angle tip to access relief areas and chip pockets from angles the straight tip can't reach. For spiral-point taps, pay special attention to the chip-pushing flutes at the tip. Avoid damaging cutting edges, work carefully around sharp thread crests. Clean thoroughly, dry, and apply rust preventive before storage. Inspect threads under magnification for damage.

Need an ultrafine tool to clear clogged nozzles or microfilters? Insect pins may be a practical alternative. Our unique 100 pin sampler package has 10 pins in 10 thicknesses, all made with grade 316 stainless steel.
