Spectrum Taps

March 12, 2012

Sandvik Coromant's Spectrum Tap tools are for reliable performance across a multitude of workpiece materials. Spectrum Taps are a full range of taps for multi-material use that provide good productivity and high capacity utilization through their versatility.

This range includes cutting taps available in a choice of DIN, DIN/ANSI, ANSI and ISO standard for through holes and blind holes. They guarantee high performance with good chip evacuation due to the optimized flute profile and a constant rake angle along the flute.

And forming taps with an optimized flute profile to generate low torque and smooth surface on the finished thread.

  • rake

    rake

    Angle of inclination between the face of the cutting tool and the workpiece. If the face of the tool lies in a plane through the axis of the workpiece, the tool is said to have a neutral, or zero, rake. If the inclination of the tool face makes the cutting edge more acute than when the rake angle is zero, the rake is positive. If the inclination of the tool face makes the cutting edge less acute or more blunt than when the rake angle is zero, the rake is negative.

  • 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.
