RS PRO ISO HSS Metric (Coarse) Spiral Point Ground Taps

From the trusted RS PRO brand, this spiral point tap is ideal for cutting and drilling in machine applications. It can be used for machine tapping in a first instance before a spiral flute tap as more robust cutting implement, and is generally sturdier than a bottoming thread.

Features and Benefits

• Precision HSS tap for machine tapping
• Can be used for hand tapping without need of a lead tap.
• Designed with a straight flute supplemented by an angular cutting point leaves the flutes clear of swarf for free coolant flow.
• Blue steam tempered finish reduces friction and produces a fine finish thread

Application

Tap sets are ideal for cutting thread (tapping) into materials, to create a clean fitting for bolts and other materials whereas drill sets are perfect for DIY projects that require a hole to be driven into a surface or material. Tap & drill sets combine the two, creating a versatile set that can be used in a wide range of applications. Tap & drill sets are used with hand tools and power tools such as tap wrenches and drills to achieve maximum torque and control. They are widely used in applications such as:

• Construction
• DIY
• Plumbing
• Workshops
• Renovations

Should I lubricate the tap?

It is recommended that lubrication is regularly applied to the tap when in use, to allow for friction-free threading with precision. This will ensure that a clean thread is achieved with minimal damage.

What are the advantages of High-Speed Steel?

High-speed steel, or HSS, is a great all-round material that’s durable enough to withstand most cutting applications. It presents a more cost-effective alternative to carbide tools, but has a lower speed range.
