TAFLET Series

Internal threads are cut by Taflet series has good points

Comparison of TAFLET Series (Thread forming tap) and Cut thread tap

Item Cutting
Tap
Taflet Characteristic of Taflet
Breakage Hardly breaking because there is no flute
Chips trouble Free from troubles because no chips are produced
Precision of internal threads Dispersion is small because forming threads
Surface roughness of internal threads Extremely good quality because of sliding on the tap face
Tapping torque 1.5 to 2.5 times higher than the cutting tap
Strength of internal threads Strong because fiber flow is not being cut by plastic cutting
Work material

Limited to high-ductility materials


Good surface of work material

Higher thread strength because fiber flow is not cut
