OSG Tap & Die introduced an innovative spiral tap series, the EXOPRO-CC-SUS, reportedly engineered to excel in all types of stainless steel, as well as carbon steel and alloy steel.
The EXOPRO-CC-SUS is one of OSG's latest premium tap series made from vanadium high speed steel. It features a variable lead flute design with advanced chip control (CC) to enable stable chip evacuation. With its state-of-the-art geometry, this series is able to achieve great consistency, reliability and long tool life even with water soluble coolant.
Available in a variety of sizes (Inch: No.2 to 1"; metric: M2 to M24).

- coolant
coolant
Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.
- tap
tap
Cylindrical tool that cuts internal threads and has flutes to remove chips and carry tapping fluid to the point of cut. Normally used on a drill press or tapping machine but also may be operated manually. See tapping.
