Taps

Sandvik Coromant has launched a new thread forming tap optimized for ISO P steel machining, which is designed to boost productivity, particularly in the automotive industry. The CoroTap 400 offers chip-free tapping, as well as faster machining times and stronger threads through reduced torque and an optimized geometry.

The Hoffman Group has been garnering attention with the "GARANT Master" tool family since the summer of 2015. A universal high-performance tap has been added to the product family for high-performance cutting.

Walter has expanded its popular Paradur HT HSS-E blind-hole tap range by adding UNC thread dimensions. Previously available in dimensions M4-M36 and M10×1-M33×2, Walter has now expanded the range of the taps to include dimensions UNC 1/4-UNC 1.

In response to strong demand for reliable machining solutions in the aerospace industry, Sandvik Coromant has launched new tapping and thread milling tools for ISO S materials (titanium and nickel-based alloys). The products have been specifically designed to enhance process security on high-value components, such as engine casings, thus providing reductions in scrap rates and machine downtime.
