- Spiral Flute Tap Specifications: Thread size: M6 x 1 + 0.1; square size: 5 mm / 0.2 inch. The spiral groove design allows for efficient upward chip removal, ensuring fast and accurate thread cutting. The titanium coating enhances corrosion resistance, increases wear resistance and hardness, and reduces friction. - Versatile Applications: Ideal for machining blind holes and working with sticky materials. Suitable for cutting threads in aluminum, tool steel, stainless steel, bronze, and plastics. Recommended feed speeds: - General steel: 6-15 m/min - Harder steel: 5-10 m/min - Stainless steel: 2-7 m/min - Cast iron: 8-10 m/min. Avoid excessive feed speeds to prevent tap breakage. - Specialized Design Features: The tap is designed to accommodate workpieces that will be electroplated or sandblasted post-tapping. A reinforcement of 0.03-0.1 mm is recommended based on coating thickness. The tap's construction provides high hardness, toughness, wear, and heat resistance. - User-Friendly Operation: Compatible with drilling and thread cutting machines, CNC, and milling machines. For optimal results, use thread cutting oil to achieve higher quality threads and extend tap life. It is advisable to utilize a machine tap drill with thread cutting pliers featuring overload protection. This spiral flute tap is engineered for precision and durability, addressing the needs of professionals in various machining applications.
