MF | METRIC FINE CHROME ALLOY TAPS

About this product range:

Discover a comprehensive selection of Chrome Alloy Metric Fine taps designed for versatile threading applications. These high-quality hand taps are expertly crafted to serve various threading needs across non-ferrous metals and plastics, providing reliable performance for both thread chasing and new thread creation.

• Manufactured from durable chrome alloy, these taps feature a metric fine thread form with a precise 60-degree thread angle.
• The thread crest is flat, with clearance at the root, ensuring excellent engagement between external and internal threads.
• Larger root radius and reduced thread height facilitate smooth screw thread processing while enhancing thread strength.
• Available in three lead types—Taper, Intermediate, and Bottoming—to suit different stages of the threading process:
  • Taper taps have a lead of eight threads, ideal as starting taps for difficult or high-precision holes.
  • Intermediate taps feature a lead of four threads, commonly used for general purpose threading to cut true threads in pre-drilled pilot holes.
  • Bottoming taps possess a lead of two threads, designed to minimize thread run-out when tapping to the bottom of blind holes and typically follow taper or intermediate taps.
• These taps are primarily used for cleaning existing threads (thread chasing) or creating new female threads in suitable materials.
• Please note that chrome alloy taps are not recommended for precision, safety-critical, or high-stress thread applications.

The major diameter and pitch of these taps are specified using simple numerical values, typically measured in millimeters, ensuring compatibility with standard metric fine thread requirements.

Each tap is precision engineered to provide consistent thread quality, making them an essential addition to any workshop or professional toolkit requiring metric fine threading solutions.
