About Thread Taps
Thread Taps
Thread Taps provided by us, is a screw-like tool with threads like a bolt and longitudinal flutes or grooves for cutting screw threads in a nut or a hole. These taps may be purchased at your local hardware shop, however they should be avoided for CNC operations. Taps and dies are used to cut nuts and bolts, respectively. Thread Taps tools that are specifically designed to cut the female portion of a mating pair of metal fasteners.

Engineered for High-Performance ThreadingDesigned for both manual and machine operations, these thread taps feature spiral flutes that ensure efficient chip removal and a smooth threading process. Their compatibility with drilling and tapping machines makes them well-suited for a range of engineering and industrial fabrication applications.
Durable Construction and Superior FinishManufactured from tough High-Speed Steel (HSS) and finished with a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating, these taps offer superior wear resistance and long-term durability. The polished surface enhances precision and minimizes friction, extending tool longevity even under high cutting forces.
Versatile Metal CompatibilityOur thread taps are suitable for threading alloy steels, mild steels, and non-ferrous metals. With a temperature resistance up to 600C and a cutting capacity of up to M12 threads, these taps adapt to diverse industrial requirements while maintaining exceptional cutting accuracy.
FAQ's of Thread Taps:
Q: How are these thread taps applied in industrial fabrication and engineering?
A: These thread taps are used to cut internal threads in pre-drilled holes of alloy steels, mild steels, and non-ferrous metals, commonly in components for engineering and industrial fabrication. They can be operated manually or with drilling and tapping machines.
Q: What benefits do the TiN (Titanium Nitride) coating and polished finish provide?
A: The TiN coating increases wear resistance, hardness, and tool life, while the polished finish ensures smoother threading by reducing friction and preventing material build-up during cutting.
Q: When should I choose a spiral flute machine tap like this one?
A: Spiral-fluted machine taps are ideal for applications where effective chip evacuation is essential, particularly in blind or deep holes. Their geometry helps prevent chip jamming and ensures precise thread formation.
Q: Where can these thread taps be used and what types of machines are they compatible with?
A: These taps are designed for use in engineering workshops, industrial manufacturing plants, and fabrication facilities. They are compatible with both manual holders and powered drilling or tapping machines.
Q: What is the process for threading with these taps, and what is their maximum cutting capacity?
A: To thread with these taps, drill a hole to the recommended size, then insert the tap using a rotational movement (either manually or mechanically) to cut threads. Their maximum cutting capacity is up to M12 threads, suitable for small to medium-sized threaded holes.
Q: How does the high-speed steel (HSS) material contribute to performance?
A: High-Speed Steel provides excellent toughness and heat resistance, enabling the taps to maintain sharpness and withstand high torque and cutting forces during threading operations.
Q: What is the range of diameters and lengths available for these thread taps?
A: The taps are available in diameters from 3mm to 12mm and lengths between 55mm and 90mm, accommodating a variety of threading requirements.
