Carbide Insert Tap - Threading

About Carbide Insert Tap - Threading

• Economical way to utilize the benefits of carbide with solid carbide cutting face inserts meticulously brazed to a H.S.S. tap body.
• High speed steel body absorbs excessive shock and offers the rigidity necessary to minimize carbide breakage or chipping.
• Ideal for high production runs, offering the capability to achieve higher speeds and feeds, with fewer tool changes.
• High performance tapping allows greater efficiencies in part throughput.
• Can also be used in conjunction with surface treatments for enhanced performance.
• Taps are available with us in a wide range of sizes (inch and metric) in both straight and taper pipe threads.
• These taps are an economical alternative to solid carbide taps, especially in larger diameter tools.
• Solid carbide cutting face inserts are brazed to a H.S.S. tap body, then threaded to exacting specifications.
• Carbide cutting teeth allow higher performance and production.

Versatile Threading Solution

Designed for diverse applications, the Carbide Insert Tap is suitable for threading steel, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous materials. It serves both manual and machine-based operations, making it ideal for workshops utilizing CNC lathes or tapping machines.


Superior Coating and Hardness

With a PVD-applied Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating, the tap offers impressive wear resistance and durability. This results in a blade hardness of 92 HRA, allowing it to maintain high precision and a finely finished surface across various job requirements.


Custom Packaging and OEM Capabilities

Distributors and suppliers benefit from flexible packaging choices, including plastic boxes or custom packaging tailored to specific needs. OEM services further expand operational possibilities, enabling branding and specification adjustments as required.
