Descriptions:9SiCr alloy tool steel thread taps offer excellent hardness, toughness and wear resistance for durability and long-lasting performance. Uncoated taps provide good cutting performance and can be used for threading a wide range of applications.
Taper Tap: Start the thread and guide it into the workpiece, commonly used when tapping through holes. Bottom Tap: Generate threads close to the bottom of a blind hole. Straight flute tap provides fast downward chip removal for efficient threading, clear threads without burrs, universal square shank.
The hand tap set is used to re-thread damaged or jammed threads, or to create new threads. Suitable for tapping through or shallow holes in mild steels, aluminum, iron, copper, hard plastic.
The tap set is mainly for hand use, and is used with a tap wrench. Apply appropriate cutting lubricant or oil during the tapping process for higher quality threads and more durable screw taps.
