Cutting and Forming Taps

Thread Cutting and Forming Taps Provide Versatility and Cost-Effective Solutions
The three performance levels encompass the product designations of T32 and T34 in thread cutting taps and T33 in forming taps. At the base level are universal general-purpose type taps. The second T34 mid-level range consists of higher performance taps that work well in a variety of workpiece materials, making them especially well-suited for high-mix/low-volume production environments with constantly changing parts and materials. The top performance level are material-specific thread cutting and forming taps such as those optimized for steel or other advanced materials.

TC388 and TC389 Supreme Solid Carbide Taps

Taps for Higher Productivity, Reliability and Quality in Hardened Steel
TC388 Supreme (50–58 RC) and TC389 Supreme (55–65 RC) feature new patent-pending cutting geometries that fully shear off the root of the chip when reversing, thus torque peaks are minimized. This prevents fractures, prolongs the tool life, and increases process reliability. Furthermore, the new taps are coated using Walters new HiPMS coating technology which creates a better surface finish, and higher thread form quality due to this innovative new coating process. Lubrication with oil, which was often necessary until now, is no longer required. Instead, standard water-based emulsions can be used, optimizing handling and saving additional machining costs.

SpeedTaps

SpeedTaps Increase Efficiency, Cut Time on the Job
SpeedTaps are meant to be driven by an impact gun along with an impact socket, for through-hole applications allowing the user to quickly move the tap through the material as the impact gun does its work. The taps are designed with an aggressive starting pitch to catch and start cutting faster than traditional taps.

Taps and Threading Tools

Taps and Threading Tool Universal Tap Grinding Solution
As the name suggests, cutting taps produce threads by progressively cutting away the space between threads into which the fastener's external threads will fit. Forming taps, by contrast, remove no material. Instead, they move or displace material inside the hole to build up the threads and dig into the grooves.

GARANT Master Tap INOX Product Line Expanded  

GARANT Master Tap Product Range Now Includes Additional High-Performance Taps
The GARANT Master Tap INOX is suitable for producing through and blind hole threads with a tolerance of 6GX. As with all tools from the GARANT Master Tap product range, it provides top process reliability, performance capability, and a long working life because a special cutting edge geometry provides evenly turned chips that are ejected in a targeted way due to the optimized flutes. The backs of the teeth are specially designed to shear off the chips, polish the chip roots, and prevent loose or twisted swarf from forming.

A-H Family of Taps

A-H Family of Taps for Hardened Steel, Cast Iron Materials
The EMUGE A-H family of taps is the best solution for tapping extremely abrasive materials and those materials with elevated hardness levels, such as cast iron, common in the heavy equipment and agricultural vehicle markets. EMUGE A-H Taps are now available with or without coolant through holes and with TiCN coating, or NT nitride surface treatment, for improved tool life.
