Highspeed Taps

We are offering a wide range of Hand Taps, which is manufactured using high grade raw material to ensure international quality standards. These are fine in finish, anti-corrosive and used in various applications of different industries. Known for abrasion resistance, these can also be designed as per the specifications detailed by our clients.

SSC taps can be used for both machine or hand tapping. They are generally the most economical tool for use on production runs, but are best on materials that produce chips, or where the swarf breaks readily. Where deep holes are to be tapped, in materials which produce stringy swarf, other types of taps may be needed, especially for coarse threads.

Hand taps can be supplied in sets of three; bottom, second and taper leads, or individually.

TAPER TAPS have a lead of 7-10 threads at 5 degrees per side. The taper lead distributes the cutting force over a large area, and the taper shape helps the thread to start. They can therefore be used to start a thread prior to use of second or bottom leads, or for through holes.

SECOND TAPS have a lead of 3-5 threads at 8 degrees per side. They are the most popular and can be used for through holes, or blind holes where the thread does not need to go right to the bottom.

BOTTOM TAPS have a chamfer (lead) of 1–2 threads, the angle of the lead being around 18 degrees per side. They are used to produce threads close to the bottom of blind holes.

Thread Forms: M, MF, ME, BSW, BSF, BA, BSB, BS CON, BSP, BSPT, UNC, UNF, NPT, NPS.
