Spiral point taps push the chips forward and are used for through holes. They have the strongest tap design due to shallow flutes. The flutes are only used for cutting fluid, not for chip evacuation.
Features and benefits
Chamfer B (3.5-5 threads) for high process security
Edge treatment for reduced axial force and torque makes the tool run more smoothly, reduces risk of cutting-edge chipping, and improves surface quality, tool life and chip formation
High-speed powder steel taps for improved strength, wear resistance, and tool life
Different coatings and grades are available:
CoolTop coating combines high hardness with good wear resistance
SmoothTop coating for low friction and adhesion
Steam Temp An oxide layer protects the surface, act as a good carrier of lubricants and prevents cold welding and built-up edge
Application
Taps optimized for specific materials and taps optimized for flexibility
Only for through holes
Available in many thread forms and standards
Up to 3xD depending on materials
Available with internal coolant in thread forms M, UNC and UNF
Tolerances:
ISO P: 6H, 6HX, 2B, 2BX, 3B
ISO M: 6H, 2B
ISO N: 6H, 2B
ISO S: 3BX, 6
–XM: 6G, 6H, 2B, 3B
