Hand Taps
Product features
●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.
Cemented
Carbide Taps
●Possible for tapping heat treated tool steels and hardened steels which hardness ranges in 55-60HRC (Maximum hardness 63HRC).
●Thread length should be less than 1.5D. Considering the tool life, the number of chamfer threads is 5.
●For bored hole diameter, maximum of the minor diameter tolerance of 6H internal threads is recommended.
