Forming Taps

Forming taps (thread forming taps) create internal threads by cold forming the material rather than cutting it, displacing metal into the pre-drilled hole. They are used to produce strong, consistent threads in ductile materials, helping reduce chip-related issues and improving process stability in both manual and CNC tapping operations.

In this collection you’ll find Yg forming taps suited for metric threads and production environments, with options for through holes and blind holes, as well as different pitches and tolerance classes. Available designs include low-friction coated versions for improved heat management and smoother forming, plus geometries optimized for stable torque and higher tapping speeds, delivering better thread surface finish and extended tool life.

These tools are widely used by machinists, manufacturing engineers, and QC teams in industries such as automotive, general metalworking, aluminum machining, and stainless-steel component production, where repeatability, chipless threading, and reliable cycle times are critical.
