Product features

●Most suitable for tapping high hardness steels of 45-55HRC such as steels for hot-forging die (100 MnCrW 4, X 155 CrVMo 12 1, etc.) ●Ultra fine grain carbide alloys with superior wear resistance and shock resistance are adopted.

  • By using the tap blanks in which both the run-out tolerance and the shank concentricity are improved, the high accuracy in screw threads can be obtained.

●For bored hole diameter, maximum of minor diameter tolerance of 6H internal threads is recommended.
