  • Standards
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
