SPIRAL FLUTED TAPS

Spiral fluted taps are cutting tools designed for threading holes in materials like metal. Their helical flutes help efficiently remove chips from the hole, making them ideal for blind holes where chip evacuation is critical. These taps are suitable for softer metals and materials that tend to form long chips. The spiral design also reduces friction and improves surface finish. With their ability to prevent thread damage and enhance precision, spiral fluted taps are widely used in industries requiring high-quality threaded holes.

STRAIGHT FLUTE TAPS

Straight flute taps are general-purpose tools used for threading both through and blind holes. Unlike spiral taps, they don’t direct chips out but hold them within the flutes, making them ideal for materials that produce short chips, like cast iron and brass. Made from high-speed steel or carbide, they provide consistent performance in hand tapping or machine operations. Straight flute taps are versatile and can be used in various materials, though they work best in hard or brittle ones, offering precise, clean threads in low-speed applications.

SPIRAL POINT TAPS

Spiral point taps, also known as "gun taps" are designed for efficient threading in through holes. Their cutting edges push chips forward, reducing clogging and ensuring smooth chip removal. This design allows faster tapping speeds and prevents chip damage. Made from high-speed steel or carbide, spiral point taps work well in materials like steel, aluminum, and brass. They're ideal for mass production due to their durability and ability to handle high-speed operations, offering a clean and precise finish with minimal downtime.

MINOR DIAMETER PATH EXTRUSION TAPS

The main features of Minor Diameter Extrusion Taps are that they form threads through plastic deformation without producing chips, eliminating cleaning issues during machining. Since the metal fibers are not cut, the resulting threads are stronger and more precise, especially in the minor diameter. The threads formed by extrusion are smoother, reducing surface roughness, and the tool has a longer lifespan compared to cutting taps. It is ideal for working with soft materials like aluminum and copper, but not suitable for brittle materials.

ROLL TAPS

Roll taps, also known as forming taps, create threads by displacing material rather than cutting it. This process involves plastic deformation, which eliminates the production of chips, making post-machining cleaning unnecessary. Since the material’s structure remains undisturbed, the threads produced are both stronger and more accurate, especially in the minor diameter. The thread surfaces are smoother, which helps reduce friction and surface roughness. Roll taps generally last longer than cutting taps and are particularly suited for softer materials like aluminum and copper. However, they are not recommended for brittle materials that could crack under pressure.

MINOR DIAMETER CUTTING TAPS

Minor diameter cutting taps create threads by removing material, generating chips that require cleaning during machining. This process can affect the strength of the threads since it cuts through metal fibers. Although the threads may not be as smooth as those made by extrusion taps, cutting taps offer precise threading and are versatile for various materials, including both soft and brittle metals.

NUT TAPS

Nut taps are specialized cutting tools designed for threading nuts or similar deep-threaded holes. They typically feature a straight flute design that efficiently cuts and clears material, ensuring accurate, smooth threading. Made from high-speed steel or carbide, nut taps are ideal for mass production of nuts, especially in metals like steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Their long thread length ensures proper engagement throughout deep holes, providing precise, uniform threads while reducing the risk of breakage or misalignment during tapping operations.

PIPE THREAD TAPS

Pipe thread taps are designed for creating internal threads in pipes and fittings, essential for secure, leak-proof connections. They feature a tapered or straight thread profile to match standard pipe thread specifications. Typically made from high-speed steel or carbide, these taps ensure precise threading in materials like steel, brass, and plastic. The tapered design helps in starting the thread smoothly, while the straight flutes cut and clear chips efficiently. They are crucial for applications requiring tight tolerances and reliable sealing in plumbing and industrial settings.
