What is the difference between a conventional tap and a tap for threaded inserts?
Helicoil thread taps have a slightly larger diameter, with the ability to accommodate the threaded insert at the same time as it taps the precise diameter necessary in order to insert your screw.
Our thread insert taps provide a precise, clean cut. Since each material reacts differently during the tapping process (especially when it comes to chip formation), it is essential to use the right tap for each specific material, with the right cutting angles and surface treatment.
Its precise fit and stability are the defining features of our taps compared to traditional models. We manufacture them using high quality steel only, which in turn expands your tools' lifespan.
Our STI and EG taps are made out of HSS or HSSE steel and manufactured to the highest standards.
Single-cut taps
Whether you want to tap manually or with a machine, the single cut tap is the ideal choice for you. We recommend using it to repair threads and for small batches of tapping. This single-cut tap has only one groove (these grooves absorb chips and are therefore not suited to serial production).
Eco machine tap, for blind and through holes (medium batches)
The Eco machine tap (HSSE) is ideal for medium-run production.
We have two models:
We recommend the Eco machine tap for applications on steel materials up to 750 N/mm².
Pro machine tap, for blind and through holes (large batches)
The Pro HSSE machine tap is the ideal tap for mass production. One of the most - if not the most - robust taps in our catalogue, this model is capable of tapping:
Whether it's a through hole or a Blind hole, the PRO machine tap works quickly and is sure to impress you with its ease of use and excellent lifespan.
Drill & tap combo tool
For mild steels or non-ferrous metals such as aluminium or magnesium, the drill & tap combination tool is an excellent middle ground. It has a nozzle that clicks into the old faulty thread, expands it and then cuts the old thread.
Because of its tip, this tool is only suitable for through holes.
The combined drill & tap is often used for repairing spark plug threads.
