TiCN-coated HSS-E machine taps in M3-M20, with spiral-point or spiral-flute options. Specify pitch, hole type, material and thread depth for selection.
This M3-M20 machine tap range lists TiCN-coated HSS-E options with spiral-point or spiral-flute geometry. Select the exact tool against your thread designation, workpiece material and hole layout.
Compare spiral-point and spiral-flute taps before specifying the geometry. If you are also considering a chip-free process, use our cutting versus forming tap checklist to prepare your inquiry.
Request a quotation with the product name, required sizes and quantity. Include your destination and any packaging or marking requirements so they can be checked with the quotation.
These HSS-E machine taps combine cobalt high-speed steel with a TiCN coating option for demanding threading applications. Spiral-point and spiral-flute geometries allow the tool to be matched to through or blind holes.
Use spiral-point geometry as the first option to evaluate for through holes because it pushes chips forward. Use spiral-flute geometry as the first option for blind holes because it lifts chips toward the shank. Workpiece alloy, hardness and hole depth must also be considered.
Please provide the thread standard and size, workpiece material, expected quantity, packaging or marking requirements and any applicable drawing. For machine taps, also provide the hole type, thread depth, machine and coolant conditions.
