Roll Form Taps. Tapped hundreds of holes with the same tap, and finally changed it to a new one, mostly in sympathy for the tap and my tool sales guy. Web forming taps forming taps, unlike cut taps that remove metal, work by compressing the work material to generate the desired thread.
Web these taps can be more costly, application specific, and require a different size drill vs. Roll tap advantages are inherent in the way they create the threads. If you need strong threads in your parts, form taps are the way to go. Tapped hundreds of holes with the same tap, and finally changed it to a new one, mostly in sympathy for the tap and my tool sales guy. Web forming taps forming taps, unlike cut taps that remove metal, work by compressing the work material to generate the desired thread. Because of this, form taps do not contain any flutes, as there is no cutting action taking place, nor are there any chips to evacuate. There are many benefits to this process including the absence of chips. Some factors need to be considered before proceeding with roll form taps such as the material to be tapped, the hole size before tapping, machine capabilities, and the class of fit. Web a form tap does just that, it “forms” the threads in the hole with pressure, as opposed to “cutting” threads. Web to establish tap drill sizes for inch size roll forming taps tap drill size = basic tap o.d.
Our innovative designs are used for a wide variety if applications including: The thread quality produced with these two different tools is dimensionally the same, but structurally different. Form taps are ideally suited for both blind & through holes. Some factors need to be considered before proceeding with roll form taps such as the material to be tapped, the hole size before tapping, machine capabilities, and the class of fit. Special, super and titanium alloys. Because no chip is produced, breakage due to chip packing and bird nesting is eliminated. Web thread forming taps are also known as fluteless taps, form taps, roll taps or cold forming taps. Due to innovative tool geometries, we can also realize pitches of 6 mm, such like the m64x6. Additionally, forming taps usually require a larger hole because this style causes a material to thread away and into the threads of the tap. Because of this, form taps do not contain any flutes, as there is no cutting action taking place, nor are there any chips to evacuate. In stock and ready to ship.
