Feature(may vary by option.)

●Tap Size: Thread size: 1/4-20 UNC; total length: 100mm / 4" (approx.); accuracy class: H2. Straight flute design, downward chip removal. Right hand thread cutting, clear threads, fast tapping with accuracy.
●High Speed Steel: High speed steel tool has high hardness and toughness, wear resistance, heat resistance. Features just the base substrate without any coatings, good for general purpose thread tapping.
●Applications: Suitable for processing through holes or shallow blind holes . Used for drilling and tapping aluminum, stainless steel, copper, hard plastics, etc.. Use with tapping oil to get higher quality threads and more durable taps.
●Easy to Use: Used on drilling machines, tapping machines, CNC and milling machines. Recommended feed rate: general steel: 6-15m/min; harder steel: 5-10m/min; stainless steel: 2-7m/min; cast iron: 8-10m/min.
●Tips: Machine taps are suggested to be used with tap collets with overload protection. Hand use or electric drills use is not recommended. Please add coolant when tapping and apply anti-rust oil for maintenance after use to prolong the service life.

Information

Taps has straight flute thread taps, spiral flute thread taps, spiral point thread taps and thread forming taps. They are also classified into hand taps and machine taps according to the usage. Be sure to select the appropriate cutting oil for complex tapping process and apply anti-rust oil for maintenance after use.

Hand taps are operated by tap wrenches. Machine taps are suggested to be used with the tap collet with overload protection. Tapping depth should not be greater than 1.5 times the diameter of the tap: For example: diameter of M5x0.8 about 5mm, the depth should not be greater than 7.5mm.

Extra Long Thread Taps

Straight Flutes

Straight flute design, downward chip removal. Right hand thread cutting, clear threads, fast tapping with accuracy.

High Speed Steel

It has high hardness and toughness, heat resistance and wear resistance. Apply anti-rust oil for maintenance after use to prolong the service life.

No Coating

Featured with the base substrate without any coatings. Suitable for general purpose thread tapping.

Machine Taps

  • Used on drilling and tapping machines, CNC and milling machines.
  • Use with tapping oil to get higher quality threads and more durable taps.
  • Cutting oil is lubrication, cooling and anti-sticking.

Wide Applications

Suitable for processing through holes or shallow blind holes . Used for drilling and tapping aluminum, stainless steel, copper, hard plastics, etc..

Recommended feed rate: general steel: 6-15m/min; harder steel: 5-10m/min; stainless steel: 2-7m/min; cast iron: 8-10m/min. The torque caused by too fast feed speed is too large, which can easily cause the tap to break.

First drill the hole with twist drill, and then use the taps tapping. Tapping angle should be vertical 90 degree and keep stable.

Tips

Please control speed according to material hardness. The higher the hardness, the slower the speed. Fast speed with small torque; slow speed with high torque. The force must be uniform in tapping operations.

Taps are prone to chipping or breaking due to speed overload or non-vertical tapping. Use the correct tapping tools, such as tapping wrench, tapping machine. Micro taps (such as M1-M3.5) are mainly used in clocks and watches, tapping wood and soft metals with lower hardness.
