The process of threading involves using taps and dies to create screw threads. The process of cutting or forming threads using a tap is called tapping, and the process using a die is called threading. A tap is a threaded tool that cuts or forms threads inside a hole (nut). A die is a threaded tool that forms or cuts threads on a cylindrical rod's surface (bolt). Using a tap or a die, you can create new threads or repair damaged threads.
