Description

10 x 1.5mm Spiral Point TIN HSS-Co5 Tap – Goliath
HSS-Co5 (Cobalt) Titanium Nitride Coated (TiN) High Performance Spiral Point Machine Tap.
Spiral point taps, also known as ‘Gun nose taps’, have straight flutes supplemented by angular cutting faces at the lead. The design of the cutting portion propels the swarf ahead of the tap leaving the flutes clear for the flow of coolant to the cutting teeth.
Primarily designed for use in through holes, these taps can be used in blind holes provided that there is ample clearance beyond the threaded section to accommodate the swarf. The advantages of a gun nose tap are the shearing action of the angular cutting faces, which produces a fine finish on the threads and shallower flutes. This allows a stronger cross section throughout the tap.
TiN Coated taps are recommended for use in Plastics and are also acceptable for a wide range of steels. 50% Machining Speed Increase is achievable.
Metric Coarse angle of thread is 60º. The crest is flat and the thread has clearance at the root allowing external thread and internal thread to engage well. Larger root radius and lower thread height enable easy screw thread processing and increase thread screw strength. The major diameter of external thread and pitch are specified by a simple numerical value (most commonly measured in millimetres).
