| Features and Benefits
Material
MTT-X taps are manufactured from premium quality vanadium powder steel, branded HSS-XS1, for an unbeatable combination of toughness, edge strength and wear resistance. This winning combination enables them to withstand the stresses of threading in tough materials.
Surface Finish
Bright finish and steam tempering (blue) guarantee a smooth cutting action with less build-up on the cutting edges. The gold finish on the shank of the bright taps identifies them as MTT-X.
Thread forms
Available in a choice of 5 thread forms, each manufactured with 2 different finishes. Choose from Metric Coarse, Metric Fine, UNC, UNF and G, according to requirement.
Geometry
Spiral flute taps have a specially formulated high helix of 48º to allow adequate room for chip formation and rapid and smooth chip evacuation at high cutting speeds for threading blind holes of up to 2.5 x diameter of the tap used. The 3 radii flute profile gives a constant rake angle all along the flute length, leading to better control of cutting properties, while the short thread length means low torque and better chip evacuation. Spiral point taps have a superior geometry which gives consistent and long tool life when threading through holes.
