HSS Cobalt Long Series Tap made to DIN 376 standard. Reduced shank taps have a smaller shank diameter than full-diameter taps. Reduced shank taps are designed for through hole applications in materials with high tensile strength. Goliath HSS taps provide a high hardness to toughness ratio, compressive and tensile strength, good abrasion resistance and resistance to micro-chipping, ensuring a long tool life. Intermediate Taps have a lead of four threads and are used in most general purpose applications to cut a thread true to a pre-drilled pilot hole. Manufactured from HSS-Co5.
