Spiral Fluted Tap Series Spiral Fluted Taps (for blind hole) SU+SP/SU-SP Spiral Fluted Taps for Stainless Steels Spiral Fluted Taps (for through hole) Specification E 2D Oxide ~ M2.6 M26 ~ SU+SP ~ M6 (coarse thread) Spiral Pointed Taps (for through hole) Recommended Tapping Speeds depending on Materials SU-SP ~ M1.7, M8 ~ , all U, all W Alloy steels Stainless steels 〜10 〜10 Hand Taps For icon explanation, refer to P.50 Product features ●Most suitable for stainless steels, sticky and tending to work-harden, as well as chrome steels and molybdenum steels, blind hole use. Cemented Carbide Taps ●Reduction of cutting load on each cutting edge due to optimum design of thread portion. ●Decrease of cutting resistance and increase of tool life. ●Improvement of chip ejection and good thread finish. ●Increase of tool life due to the improvement of tap strength. ●Suitable for both rigid tapping machine and non-rigid tapping machine.
