Taps

The GARANT Master Tap INOX is suitable for producing through and blind hole threads with a tolerance of 6GX. As with all tools from the GARANT Master Tap product range, it provides top process reliability, performance capability, and a long working life because a special cutting edge geometry provides evenly turned chips that are ejected in a targeted way due to the optimized flutes. The backs of the teeth are specially designed to shear off the chips, polish the chip roots, and prevent loose or twisted swarf from forming.

The EMUGE A-H family of taps is the best solution for tapping extremely abrasive materials and those materials with elevated hardness levels, such as cast iron, common in the heavy equipment and agricultural vehicle markets. EMUGE A-H Taps are now available with or without coolant through holes and with TiCN coating, or NT nitride surface treatment, for improved tool life.

Emuge Corp. has introduced Innoform–Steel-M, a line of HSSE-PM taps for forming threads with improved surface quality, while increasing static and dynamic thread strength, in medium strength steels up to 44 HRC.

The Dormer Shark line grows with the addition of the Black ring tap for high-strength steels and titanium alloys.

Walter has expanded its productive and cost-effective Walter Perform lineup of TC115/TC216 taps with an array of new sizes, giving these highly flexible taps an even wider range of application in a variety of materials. They provide an excellent means of cost savings, especially with small and medium batch sizes.
