Product features

  • In tapping Aluminum Alloy Castings and similar, AXE-HT realizes a huge improvement in its endurance due to the proprietary flute design.
  • Special cutting edge design drastically reduces damage on the cutting edge.

Combination of premium powder HSS (featuring high wear resistance and heat resistance) and special coating brings out 5 times longer tool life than previous taps designed for aluminum. ●Stable and strong cutting edge allows high accurate internal thread with optimal surface finishing.

  • Most preferable combination of negative rake angle and eccentric relief enables AXE taps to be applicable in wider range of cutting speed, from middle speed to high speed.
