Taps

Tap

      Taps are designed for cutting threads in difficult-to-cut materials, in connections in compliance with the accuracy class, in large-sized or hard-to-reach parts using lathes, drilling machines and machining centers, as well as for cutting threads manually.


      Taps are the main tool for cutting internal threads in blind and through holes manually and by machine. From the point of view of accessibility, a tap for thread cutting is a relatively simple tool, the use of which can be used by both amateurs and professionals to obtain high-quality standard threads in a regular workshop.
 
Design of a complete manual tap

      The tap looks like a solid element, which consists of a working (cutting part) and a shank. On the working part there are cutting teeth, created by cutting grooves for chips and processing the flank surface. Chip grooves can be straight or helical. The working part is divided into an intake cutting part and a calibrating cutting part. A square is formed at the end of the shank to secure the tool in the driver, thread-cutting chucks, and also in machining centers.
