Type: Solid carbide
Category: Threading cutter
Place of origin: Chongqing，China

Nowadays, the cutting tools contribute the majority of the produced threads in all types of manufacturing industries. The internal threads were created by cutting taps. These are tools that are designed to remove material from the hole leaving a finished internal thread form in the geometry intended. Forming taps create thread by displacement of material within the hole. The formed material assumes the shape of the thread form of the tap without the creation of chips. Flutes are replaced by lubrication grooves to provide some relief from the friction created during the process. By using our form tap, it will help you to achieve a smooth and burnished surface finish.

Made of high hardness raw carbide material, high durable and strength, very high cost-performance. Suitable for different metals reaming such as steel, cast iron, alloy steel, stainless steel, also it can reduce the times of tool changes and shaking in the processing, save production time and improve efficiency.

The tool entering feed is less than 70% of threading feed. It is in direct proportion to the diameter of the tap. The above cut parameters are suitable for thread cutters with helical flute. Please reduce feed rate and cutting speed by 20% to 40% if it is straight-flute tools.

1.Increased Tool Life: Form taps typically last longer than cutting taps because they don't experience the same wear and tear associated with cutting metal. Since they displace the material rather than removing it, there is less stress on the tool, leading to extended tool life.

2.Improved Thread Quality: Form taps create threads with high precision and consistency. The threads formed are more accurate and have a smoother surface finish compared to threads produced by cutting taps. This high-quality threading is especially crucial in industries where tight tolerances are required.

3.No Chip Generation: Form taps do not produce chips during the threading process. This eliminates the need for chip evacuation systems and reduces the mess associated with traditional tapping methods. It also prevents the problem of chip accumulation and clogging in the tapped holes.

4.Reduced Power Consumption: Since form taps do not require the same level of power as cutting taps, they are more energy-efficient. This can lead to energy savings, especially in large-scale manufacturing operations.

5.Improved Material Utilization: Form taps use less material during the threading process because they displace rather than remove material. This can be particularly advantageous when working with expensive or valuable materials, as it reduces material waste.

6.High Production Rates: Form tapping processes can be faster than traditional cutting methods because they eliminate the need for retracting the tap to clear chips. This can lead to higher production rates and increased throughput in manufacturing operations.

7.Less Work Hardening: Since form taps don't remove material through cutting, there is less risk of work hardening, a process where the material hardens due to the heat generated during cutting. This is especially important when working with materials that are prone to hardening, such as stainless steel.

8.Thread Consistency: Form taps produce threads with consistent pitch and depth, ensuring uniformity across all threaded holes. This consistency is vital in applications where threaded components need to fit together precisely.
