HSS Tap
HSS Taps (High-Speed Steel Taps) are threading tools used to cut internal threads in metal and non-metallic materials with high precision and consistency. Manufactured from high-speed steel, these taps offer excellent toughness, wear resistance, and the ability to maintain cutting performance at high temperatures. Available in various types such as hand taps, spiral point taps, spiral flute taps, and forming taps, HSS taps are essential tools in general machining, automotive, and maintenance applications. They provide smooth and accurate thread formation in blind and through holes across a variety of materials.
Applications
- Internal thread cutting in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and plastics.
- Widely used in automotive, aerospace, machinery, and general engineering sectors.
- Suitable for manual tapping and machine tapping (CNC, VMC).
- Ideal for blind holes and through holes in production and maintenance environments.
Key Features
- Made from high-speed steel for durability and thermal resistance.
- Available in various types: straight flute, spiral point, spiral flute, and roll/form taps.
- Provides clean and accurate threads with minimal burr formation.
- Suitable for high-speed tapping operations in production lines.
- Compatible with standard and metric thread profiles (UNC, UNF, BSP, M, etc.).
- Offers long tool life with proper lubrication and cutting parameters.
- Available in coated and uncoated versions for specific applications.
