So what are the types of taps? There are 3 main taps you should be familiar with and they are: Taper, Plug, and Bottoming tap. Tap Wrench - Tap wrenches are essential tools used to turn hand taps during the threading process. They provide a secure grip on the tap's square shank and allow you to apply the necessary rotational force to cut threads into the workpiece. There are different types of tap wrenches, each designed for specific applications. Hand Tap Sets - They are designed to provide the necessary taps for different stages of the threading process, ensuring that you have the right tools to create accurate and clean threads. A typical tap set includes a Taper, Second and Plug. A tap is used to make (cut) new threads or clean out (chase) existing threads in a screw mechanism. Though this tool is most commonly used by machinists and engineers, automotive technicians may also have a tapping set in their toolbox. There are dozens of situations where having a solid knowledge and appreciation for the science behind tapping threads into a piece of machinery can prevent hours of troublesome work and hundreds of dollars in replacement parts. Length compensation: built in length compensation takes care of small push or pull to the spindle or feed difference.

Taps and dies are tools used to create screw threads, which is called threading. Many are cutting tools; others are forming tools. A tap is used to cut or form the female portion of the mating pair (e.g. a nut). A die is used to cut or form the male portion of the mating pair (e.g. a bolt). The process of cutting or forming threads using a tap is called tapping, whereas the process using a die is called threading. The third style is a bottoming tap. Bottoming taps have 1 to 2 tapered cutting edges before the full cutting force is engaged. Though this tap is extremely hard to start threads with, it is capable of cutting threads all of the way to the bottom of a blind hole. Bottoming taps are best used after a taper or plug tap has been used to cut the initial thread. Hand Taps - Hand taps are single taps designed for threading holes of varying depths. They are available a wide range of thread sizes and pitches. There are 3 main tap types: Taper Taps, Second Taps and Plug Taps. Each tap is used at different stages of the tapping process. Sherwood HSS Plug Taps are the ideal option for through hole tapping in most materials including steel, some stainless steels, cast irons and non-ferrous materials such as Aluminium, Brass and many others.

Hand taps are cutting tools used in machining and metalworking to create internal threads, or threaded holes, in workpieces. These tools are manually operated and designed to be used without the use of a tapping machine. They come in various sizes and designs to accommodate different screw sizes and threading requirements. Here at Cromwell we have a large selection of hand taps from leading suppliers Sherwood, Dormer & Kennedy. Starter Tap - A starter tap is used to begin the process of creating screw threads in a hole or on the inside surface of a cylindrical object.

Hand taps are common engineer's tools, used in multiple industries to create internal threads in a variety of materials, typically metal. They are designed to be operated by hand. Hand taps are typically made from durable materials like high speed steel and feature flutes or grooves along their length to aid in chip removal during the threading process.Keenan, Julian Paul (2005). ASVAB - The Best Test Prep. Research & Education Association. ISBN 978-0-7386-0063-5. The work piece (blank) to be threaded, which is usually slightly smaller in diameter than the die's major diameter, is given a slight taper (chamfer) at the end that is to be threaded. This chamfer helps center the die on the blank and reduces the force required to start the thread cutting. [7] Once the die has started, it self-feeds. Periodic reversal of the die is often required to break the chip and prevent crowding. A plug tap has a less pronounced taper to the cutting edges. This gives the plug tap a gradual cutting action that is less aggressive than that of the bottoming tap but more aggressive than a taper tap. Typically, the plug tap will have 3 to 5 tapered threads before the full cutting diameter is engaged. Tap in a wrench for creating female threads (left), and die in a wrench for creating male threads (right). To overcome these problems, special tool holders are required to minimize the chances of tap breakage during tapping. These are usually classified as conventional tool holders and CNC tool holders.
