Taps are cutting tools used to produce internal threads in pre-drilled holes, enabling accurate fastening with screws or bolts. They are applied in metalworking and plastics machining on lathes, mills, or by hand, where thread form and tolerance control are critical for assembly quality.
Available in metric and inch standards (e.g., UNC/UNF), for through or blind holes, as sets or single taps, with different flute geometries (straight/spiral) and wear-resistant coatings. Options from Insize, Mitutoyo & PCE.
Suitable for machine shops, maintenance and production—choose based on workpiece material and the required tolerance class.
