Tools & Gear Taps & Dies HSS Hand and Machine Taps

• 3 x 0.5 MC DIN 376 HSS-Co5 Tap Set - Goliath
• HSS-Co Bright Finish Reduced Long Series Shank Metric Coarse Hand and Machine Tap Set (T, I, B).
• 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.
• Taper Taps have a lead of eight threads and are used as a starting tap in difficult or high precision holes.
• 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.
• Bottoming Taps have a lead of two threads and are used to ensure minimum thread run-out when tapping to the bottom of a blind hole.
• Bottoming Taps are typically preceded by the use of a Taper or Intermediate Tap.
• Manufactured from HSS-Co5.
