METRIC CONDUIT CHROME ALLOY TAPS | MF BORDO

MF | METRIC FINE CHROME ALLOY TAPS

About this product range:

• Chrome Alloy Metric Conduit Hand Taps designed for versatile threading applications.
• Available in Bottoming, Intermediate, and Taper lead types to suit different stages of thread cutting and finishing.
• Ideal for use as thread chasers to clean existing threads or to create new female threads in non-ferrous metals and plastics.
• Not recommended for precision, safety, or critical threads due to material limitations.
• Metric Fine thread form with a 60-degree thread angle ensures compatibility with standard metric fine threads.
• Flat thread crest and root clearance enable smooth engagement between internal and external threads.
• Larger root radius and reduced thread height facilitate easier screw thread processing and enhance thread strength.
• The major diameter and pitch are specified in millimetres, simplifying selection and application.
• Lead types:
  • Bottoming: Features a lead of two threads, designed to minimize thread run-out when tapping to the bottom of blind holes; typically used after Taper or Intermediate taps.
  • Intermediate: Has a lead of four threads, suitable for most general-purpose applications to cut threads true to a pre-drilled pilot hole.
  • Taper: With a lead of eight threads, these taps serve as starting taps for difficult or high-precision holes.

This range of chrome alloy metric fine taps offers reliable performance for threading tasks in various workshop and manufacturing environments. Their robust design and specialized lead types provide a comprehensive solution for creating and maintaining fine metric threads in suitable materials.
