HSS Machine Tap is a specialized tool meticulously crafted for creating metric coarse threads in metal materials. The plug tap and taper tap both have a straight flute design, making them suitable for a range of general-purpose tapping applications. These Spiral Point Taps are suitable for cutting 25mm /1” thick material due to the safety recess at the end of the thread. The TRE31 series is for machining metric fine threads and has a spiral flute geometry for blind hole tapping. Be sure to select the appropriate cutting oil for the complex tapping process and apply anti-rust oil for maintenance after use.

Straight flute design, used for through hole and shallow blind hole tapping, not for blind hole tapping. The taps create a coarse thread for greater resistance to stripping, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting thread. We are proud suppliers of all the leading cutting tool and tool holding brands from around the world.

These high quality and durable taps and dies, are a fantastic low cost threading solution for general engineers, model engineers, hobbyists and mechanics. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. HSS M2 High quality General Purpose Taps, Ground Thread, available in sets of three and also individual taps. EW Equipment has been trading for over 50 years, we can offer expert advice and knowledge for the best tooling for the job. Tap and dies can also be used to clean existing threads, freeing the grooves from build-up or dirt and debris.

Spiral point taps are engineered for efficient chip removal, while the flute design aids in smooth and precise threading operations. Tap and die sets are used by engineers, metalworkers, and mechanics to cut internal or external threads, allowing two or more pieces of metal to screw together. The taps are used to create screw threads that allow for a secure connection between objects using threaded screws.Available in a range of sizes and specifications, the taps are manufactured from High Speed Steel (HSS) and have an oxidised finish.

The taps come in a case made of impact-resistant PP (polypropylene), ensuring that the taps stay safe if the case is damaged or dropped. Round dies are suitable for general purpose threading, widely used in thread repair or cleaning the external thread. Prime-X YG-1 Premium HSS-PM Machine Taps have a unique X-coating and a tough chip resistant cutting edge which provide ultra long tool life, high heat resistance and high performance tapping on a wide range of materials including Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron and Non-Ferrous.Straight Flute and Fluteless Taps are manufactured with a standard Bright Finish whereas the Machine Taps have an Oxidised Finish for best results, dissipating the heat build-up associated with these applications.
