Taps

Totem carbon steel taps provide accurately gauged holes. These are manufactured from high grade high carbon steel, recommended for medium fit applications - for tapping non-ferrous material, soft ferrous material and sheet metal parts in maintenance garages, workshops and fabrications. The taps are manufactured in various thread forms for different applications and needs. In most general hand tapping operations, Totem carbon steel taps can substitute HSS taps, thus giving one a cost saving of nearly 67 per cent; can operate at higher speeds, thus reducing total tapping time; gives accurately gauged holes consistently to save on inspection time and cost; has a longer life thus reducing expensive machine setup time; provides lower cost per tapped hole thus reducing manufacturing costs. These taps are manufactured as per BS949/1951 standards with threads to Zone 5 and to ANSI B94-9 standards for NC/NP thread forms. Applications: recommended for medium fit applications - for tapping non-ferrous, soft ferrous material, sheet metal parts, etc; specific areas of usage would be in maintenance garages, workshops and fabricators, etc.
