EXOPRO-Ti Taps

February 13, 2013

OSG Tap & Die has introduced an all new premium tap series, the EXOPRO-Ti, ideal for machining titanium alloys.

The EXOPRO-Ti is OSG's ultra premium tooling series, featuring supreme performance in difficult threading applications, according to the company. The EXOPRO-Ti's cutting edge has been optimized for maximum sharpness and strength, while its reverse-helix flutes push chips ahead of the tap, eliminating chip evacuation problems.

With the addition of OSG's proprietary V coating, tool life can be further prolonged, providing users with maximum cost-efficiency.

Related Glossary Terms

  • alloys

    alloys

    Substances having metallic properties and being composed of two or more chemical elements of which at least one is a metal.

  • flutes

    flutes

    Grooves and spaces in the body of a tool that permit chip removal from, and cutting-fluid application to, the point of cut.

  • 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.

  • threading

    threading

    Process of both external (e.g., thread milling) and internal (e.g., tapping, thread milling) cutting, turning and rolling of threads into particular material. Standardized specifications are available to determine the desired results of the threading process. Numerous thread-series designations are written for specific applications. Threading often is performed on a lathe. Specifications such as thread height are critical in determining the strength of the threads. The material used is taken into consideration in determining the expected results of any particular application for that threaded piece. In external threading, a calculated depth is required as well as a particular angle to the cut. To perform internal threading, the exact diameter to bore the hole is critical before threading. The threads are distinguished from one another by the amount of tolerance and/or allowance that is specified. See turning.
