Historically, the threading of holes has been a fairly straightforward operation, usually performed close to the end of a part’s machining. Once the holes had been drilled, thread taps of the ...

A few years ago, engineers and management at Emuge Corp., a leading maker of taps, drills, and other rotary tools, decided it needed a new tool for forming helical threads in lightweight metals and ...

Tapping internal threads on stainless steel pipe fittings is highly technical, typically done using a tap. Stainless steel is highly viscous and has poor chip-breaking properties, so it is easy to ...

WALTER USA launched the TC130 Supreme tapping tool with a new, patent-pending geometry for improved surface quality even when threading large batch sizes. Straight grooves produce short, controllable ...

Thread taps are an essential part of any mechanic’s toolbox-- mostly because, well, you will ruin some threads. Or, as is the case for YouTube user This Old Tony, you’re fabricating parts from scratch ...

Abstract: This study discusses the quality analysis of a new tapping machine. By measuring the torque and speed of the tapping machine, the correlation between the quality of the nut and the tapping ...

The strength of some internal threads is more sensitive to tap diameter than previously thought. • Cold-formed threads are no stronger than cut threads when holes are correctly sized. • Cut threads ...
