Advantages
Highest Speeds
Achieve the highest tapping speeds up to 4x quicker than HSSE machine taps
Ultimate Performance
The longest tool life combined with the best thread quality and reduced tapping loads
High Precision
Ultra rigid tapping for the highest precision and accuracy
Reduced Downtime
Reduced tap breakages and longer tool life ensures downtime is minimised
Features
High Quality HSS-PM
High quality powder metal substrate provides more reliability and improved wear reistance
Universal Application
Synchro rigid taps are suitable for ultra performance tapping across all materials
Tight Shank Tolerance
Ensures precision is maintained at high cutting speeds
Short Threaded Body
Minimises bird nesting, reduces chipping and improves thread finish
Nanograin Carbide
Manufactured with the hardest nanograin carbide sub-strate and coated with YG-1’s silicon based X5070 blue coating. This special coating and substrate combination is heat resistant up to 1,400°C, enabling extreme cutting speeds in the hardest of steels up to 70 Rockwell.
Dry Cutting
Designed for DRY machining. Tool life can actually be increased by up to 2.5 times when machining dry compared to with coolant. Flood coolant can cause thermal shock cracks in the coating and break down the cutting edge in high temperatures. Dry machining can also maintain a sharper cutting edge for longer.
