![]() A thread forming tap for forming a female thread by causing plastic deformation of a prepared hole of a workpiece, the thread forming tap comprising: a male thread portion protruding in a thread shape in a radial direction, the male thread portion including: at least one protruding portion including a plurality of first thread ridges arranged in an axial direction and protruding in the radial direction, and a first root formed between the first thread ridges adjacent to each other in the axial direction and at least one adjustment portion arranged with the at least one protruding portion in one lead of the male thread portion, a distance from an axial center to a section of the adjustment portion corresponding to the first root in the one lead being longer than a root diameter of the first root and shorter than a ridge diameter of the first thread ridge adjacent to the first root.Ģ. A distance from an axial center to a section of the adjustment portion corresponding to the first root in the one lead is longer than a root diameter of the first root and shorter than a ridge diameter of the first thread ridge adjacent to the first root.ġ. The male thread portion includes at least one protruding portion ( 5), which includes a plurality of first thread ridges ( 51) arranged in an axial direction and that protrude in the radial direction and a first root ( 52) formed between the first thread ridges adjacent to each other in the axial direction, and at least one adjustment portion ( 6), which is arranged with the at least one protruding portion in one lead of the male thread portion. A thread forming tap ( 1) is a cold forming tap for forming a female thread by causing plastic deformation of a prepared hole of a workpiece, and includes a male thread portion ( 3) that protrudes in a thread shape in a radial direction. Threading taps are used in conjunction with a tap wrench so always consider the maximum side tap your wrench can hold when purchasing.An object is to provide a thread forming tap configured to obtain an inside diameter dimension of a female thread having a targeted processing accuracy more easily than in related art. Their full length cutting shape allow for threads to be cut at the very bottom of a hole for maximum thread length.Spiral flute taps – for blind hole applicationsSpiral point taps – push chips forward, ideal for through-hole applicationsStraight flute taps – most commonly, designed for short chipping materialsForming taps – compresses to produce a thread rather than cuttingTaps come in both Metric and Imperial dimensions and can have different shank types. ![]() Taps can be used by machinists in different ways for different applications:Taper taps or starter taps, are used to initially start a new thread with the first 7-10 threads having a flatter profile than those further up the shaft.Plug taps are similar to taper taps but only have 3-5 starting rows ground down leaving more shaft to create a thread.Bottom taps are square in profile with no ground down threads and are used after a taper or plug tap has been used. You can find out more in our threading taps guide. ![]() Threading taps can be used with a tap wrench or power tool and are available in various sizes to accommodate a range of applications. Our range of threading taps offers the best tool for every machining method or process to meet all your requirements. In other words, tapping uses the tap part of the set and creates internal threads and threading is the process used by the die to cut external threads.Threading Taps are available in HSS (high-speed steel) and carbide and can be used by hand or machine. The tap is designed for internal thread cutting, so this would be used on the fastener hole or a nut, whereas a die is used for the external thread, like on a bolt. Dies are used to cut threads on materials such as steel rods to allow a fitting to be screwed on and attached (threading). ![]() Threading taps must be used in a predrilled hole and cannot be used for drilling entire holes.The difference between taps and dies is that taps are used to create or repair threads in holes which is ideal for nuts. ![]() Used in engineering and manufacturing, threading taps work like a drill but due to the unique shape of a tap, when screwed into a piece of material, screw threads are created. Threading Taps Threading taps are a tool used to create screw threads (tapping) into a pre-drilled hole, to create a clean fitting for bolts in metals and plastics. ![]()
