For through hole applications
- New generation of high performance, high speed steel powdered metal taps for material specific tapping applications
- Optimum combination of grades, geometries and coatings to deliver higher quality threads and longer tool life
- Boost your productivity with our unique, highly wear resistant powder metal substrate, modified with a higher than standard cobalt content for greater heat resistance
- Enhanced design for reliable thread in different materials
- More resistant to edge chipping than carbide
- Better performance at high speeds
- Chamfer design for minimized chip load and lower torque
- Manufactured from powdered metal high speed steel coated for thread cutting and thread forming in various applications
- Offer performance advantages over other regular high speed steel taps
- High wear resistance and hot hardness without sacrificing edge strength
- PVD coatings offer outstanding thermal stability, hot hardness, oxidation resistance and low coefficient of friction
- Taps can be used in collet and hydraulic holders
- Low runout of thread and chamfer
- Long tap life at up to 50% higher tapping speed
- Excellent chip control
- Reliable performance
- Exceptional thread quality
- Left hand spiral fluted taps push chips ahead in through holes
- Optimized spiral flute design enables deep blind holes to be threaded
- Proprietary TiCN coating (hardness 3000 Vickers) is harder, tougher and more wear resistant than TiN under conditions of moderate cutting temperatures
