Tools & Gear Taps & Dies HSS Hand and Machine Taps

• 3-12mm 14 Pce MC Blue Band Intermediate Tap & Drill Set
• HSSE-V3 HSSE with 3% Vanadium high performance tap and drill set.
• TiAlN (Titanium Aluminium Nitride) coating provides higher temperature resistance and improved surface hardness.
• Optimised for machining stainless steel
• Spiral point, straight flute with angular cutting faces at the lead.
• Primarily design for tapping through holes but can be used for blind holes provided there is ample clearance beyond the threaded section to accommodate the swarf.
• Designed to withstand the high stress and high heat associated with CNC production tapping.
• The machining of stainless steels is difficult due to its work hardening properties, toughness and poor thermal conductivity, which places high demands on the cutting tools.
• TiAlN coating increases tool surface hardness to 87Rc.
