HSS-E-PM taps

High-Performance Powdered Metal Taps

These HSS-E-PM taps are designed for those who want the best performance, longest tool life, and highest productivity in material-specific applications. Our powdered metal taps offer high-performance tapping with highly reliable threads in blind- and through-hole applications.

HSS-E-PM taps are made from high-speed steel and powder coated for thread forming and thread cutting in different applications. This coating gives these taps a definite performance advantage over traditional high-speed taps, and they're unmatched by competitive products.

The PVD multilayer coatings give these taps outstanding thermal stability, hot hardness, and oxidation resistance, as well as low frictional coefficient.

Why you'll like HSS-E-PM taps:

  • achieve up to 50% higher tapping speed and longer tap life
  • excellent chip control with greater thread strength and excellent thread quality
  • taps can be used in collet and hydraulic holders
  • spiral point feature pushes chips ahead of the tap in through-hole applications
  • more resistant to edge chipping than carbide taps
  • better performance at high speeds
