●Use the tap holder of floating type. ●Prevent vibrating of axis of tap ●Prevent centering-off with work piece. ●Reduce cutting speed.

  • Provide proper timing for changing or filling-up of cutting oil.
  • Prevent mixing of other oil into cutting oil.
  • Use other cutting oil which prevents cold welding.
  • Use cutting oil of insoluble type.
  • Adjust flow of cutting oil and method of lubrication.

Remove unnecessary chips

  • Provide Nitride on taps. Use oversiza taps. Use spiral pointed taps Provide oxide coating on Use oil hole taps.
