Specification Brand : Drill America BulletPoint1 : Used to re-thread damaged and/or jammed threads BulletPoint2 : Carbon Steel Hand Taps may also be used to thread mild steels BulletPoint3 : Carbon steel Hand Taps come in three styles: Taper Style: Starts the thread square with the workpiece. Plug Style: Generally used in thru holes. Bottom Style: Generate the thread to the bottom of the hole. BulletPoint4 : Straight flute tools allow chips to collect in the flutes as they cut and are well suited for most applications in shallow cuts BulletPoint5 : Uncoated tools feature just the base substrate without any additional treatment or coatings and are suitable for a wide range of applications Color : Uncoated (Bright) ExternallyAssignedProductIdentifier1 : 887861077491 ExternallyAssignedProductIdentifier2 : 0887861077491 ExternallyAssignedProductIdentifier3 : 00887861077491 FinishType : Uncoated IncludedComponents : Alfa Tools ItemName : Drill America DWTT1/2-13 1/2"-13 Carbon Steel Taper Tap (Pack of 1), DWT Series, Uncoated (Bright) ItemPackageDimensions_Height : 9.6012 centimeters ItemPackageDimensions_Length : 1.397 centimeters ItemPackageDimensions_Width : 1.4986 centimeters ItemPackageQuantity : 1 ItemShape : Straight ItemTypeKeyword : hand-threading-taps ItemTypeName : Alfa Tools CSHTS70532 1/4-20 Carbon Steel Hand Tap Set Taper/Plug/Bottom Manufacturer : Drill America Material : Carbon Steel MeasurementSystem : Metric ModelName : M4 x 0.7 ModelNumber : DWTT1/2-13 NumberOfItems : 1 PartNumber : DWTT1/2-13 ProductDescription : Thread Size: M5 x 0.8 (right hand) Tolerance: H2 (Accuracy) Thread Length: 16mm / 0.63" Total Length: 65mm / 2.56" Square Shank Width: 4.3mm / 0.17" (Round Shank Dia.: 5.4mm / 0.21") Material: 6542/M2 High Speed Steel (HSS) Finish: Nitride Coated Manufacturing Process: Fully Ground Package Included: 4pcs x Spiral Point Thread Taps
Metric thread tap features spiral point, plug chamfer and right hand thread cutting. Straight flutes are fully ground to provide downward chip removal. The point of the tap helps guide it into the hole and reduces the torque required to turn it. 6542 (M2) high speed steel screw taps run at high speeds and generate threads quickly and efficiently, offering high hardness (HRC62-64), wear resistance, and good toughness. Nitride coating increases hardness, enhances wear resistance, and reduces friction for longer service life, resulting in smoother, faster tapping performance. Spiral point tap is suitable for through-hole threads. Used for drilling and tapping stainless steel (below 30HRC), aluminum, die steel, ordinary steel, non-ferrous metals, and hard plastics. Flutes on the screw tap help to remove chips and debris from the hole. Machine threading tap is used with drill presses, tapping machines, CNC and milling machines. Used with tapping oil to get higher quality threads and more durable taps. Machine taps are suggested to be used with tap chucks with overload protection. It is not recommended for hand use and electric drill tapping. Drill holes with a twist drill bit first, then tap with a thread tap. Tapping angle should be 90 degrees vertical and stable. The tapping depth should not exceed 1.5 times the diameter of the tap. Control speed according to the material hardness. The higher the hardness, the slower the speed.
