Tools & Gear Taps & Dies HSS Hand and Machine Taps
HSS Machine Nut Taps Machine Nut Taps are used where a long shank is needed and are available in Taper - Intermediate - and Bottoming leads. To ensure easy and precise use the Machine Nut Tap Taper lead has a unique - very long entering chamfer. This makes aligning the cutting end with the work piece simple. Ideal for tapping nuts - small quantities made from tough steel such as stainless steel as well as mild steels - or for rethreading rusty or worn threads.=?=? Alternatively - the Intermediate and Bottoming leads are ideally suited to long reach threading applications where the thread needing to be tapped or cleaned is beyond the reach of a standard tap. We recommend the Intermediate lead Machine Nut Tap for long reach through-hole applications and the Bottoming lead for long reach blind hole applications. UNCUNIFIED NATIONAL COARSE This thread form was introduced in 1948 as an attempt to standardise thread forms in the USA - Canada and the UK. The thread profile of UNC is the same as for metric threads and is described in the JIS B0206 standard. The thread is described by its major diameter and the number of threads per inch of length (TPI).This thread series is commonly used in the mass production of bolts - screws and nuts. It is used for threading into lower tensile strength materials (bronze - brass - aluminium and plastics) to obtain the best resistance to stripping of the internal thread. It is also used on quick assembly or disassembly or if corrosion or slight damage is possible. INTERMEDIATE TAPS have a lead of four threads and are used in most general purpose applications to cut a thread true to a pre-drilled pilot hole. Manufactured from HSS.
