Note : It is necessary to carefully select a suitable tapping speed taking into consideration : machining conditions, style of tap, number of tap chamfered threads, work piece design, material being tapped,
hole condition and type of tapping fluid.
■YAMAWA G class system Thread Forming Taps
○YAMAWA G class system is made by using the datum 0.0005 inch (12.7μm) in a step form in accordance with ANSI standard GH class.
○The upper deviation of G class is decided by rounding off the grade No.× 12.7 to 1 decimal.
○The lower deviation of G class is specified in the same upper tolerance of one lower step.
○The tolerances are either 12 μm or 13μm.
