High-Performance HSS Taps
Wide range of versatile taps manufactured from high-speed steel for thread forming and thread cutting in any industrial application.Hand Taps
- The most popular style of tap, made from select high-speed steel for extended wear life.
- Use by hand or when tapping under power - for general machine tapping or with CNC machines.
- Available in three chamfer lengths for through-hole or blind-hole tapping.
- Available in a variety of coatings to achieve increased tap life, tapping speed, and wear resistance.
GUN Taps
- Manufactured from vanadium high-speed steel.
- Forward-moving, efficient chip removal to reduce loading and clogging of the flutes.
- High-performance coatings enable higher tapping speeds and productivity.
Spiral-Fluted Taps
- Manufactured from vadium high-speed steel with a necked design.
- Faster spiral flutes improve chip-lifting action and span wider spaces in the hole while tapping.
- Achieve excellent results in deep blind holes.
- Plug chamfer taps have 3 to 5 pitches; bottoming chamfer taps have 1 to 2 pitches.
Pipe Taps
- Manufactured from select tap high-speed steel.
- Ground thread pipe taps are standard to NPS and NPSF thread forms.
- NPSF dryseal taps are ideal for low-pressure work where a sealer is not used.
- Available in modified chamfers with 3 to 5 pitches.
