MC | METRIC COARSE CHROME ALLOY TAPS

About this product range:

These high-quality Chrome Alloy Metric Coarse taps are designed for versatile threading applications across various materials including non-ferrous metals and plastics. Available in three distinct lead types—Taper, Intermediate, and Bottoming—they cater to different stages of thread cutting and maintenance, ensuring precision and durability in your projects.

• Taper Taps: Featuring a lead of eight threads, these taps serve as excellent starting tools for difficult or high precision holes, facilitating smooth initial thread cutting.
• Intermediate Taps: With a lead of four threads, these are ideal for most general-purpose applications, cutting threads true to pre-drilled pilot holes.
• Bottoming Taps: Designed with a lead of two threads, they are perfect for minimizing thread run-out when tapping to the bottom of blind holes, typically used after Taper or Intermediate taps.

Each tap exhibits a 60-degree Metric Coarse thread angle with a flat crest and clearance at the root, allowing excellent engagement between external and internal threads. The larger root radius and reduced thread height enhance ease of screw thread processing while increasing thread strength and durability.

Chrome alloy construction offers robust performance for thread chasing and creation, particularly suited for cleaning existing threads or forming new female threads in non-ferrous metals and plastics. However, these taps are not intended for precision, safety-critical, or high-tolerance thread production.

The major diameter and pitch of the threads are specified in millimetres, ensuring compatibility with standard metric components. Overall lengths and drill diameters vary to accommodate a broad range of threading requirements, providing flexibility for diverse industrial and DIY applications.

Whether you are repairing threads or manufacturing new ones, this comprehensive collection of Chrome Alloy Metric Coarse taps delivers reliable performance, ease of use, and consistent results, making them an essential addition to any toolkit.
