For icon explanation, refer to P.50 Product features ●Adopting the special form on tap's root, SURZ controls the minor diameter geometry of internal threads. ●Special lobe shape realizes low tapping torque.

●High efficiency can be obtained in thread forming of stainless steel parts. ●By adjusting bored hole size, you can adjust the minor diameter geometry of internal threads.

  • Recommended bored hole diameters shown in above table have been calculated by aiming at the thread engagement of 90% and by considering avoidance of tap breakage, based on our past tapping test experiences.
  • Recommended bore hole diameter may change because material deformation can slightly change depending on material, hardness, dimension of workpiece and tapping condition.
