Usually supplied in bright ground finish Tap basic dimensions shown in mm
May be used by hand or in machines to produce accurate threads in most materials
*IMPORTANT. Length of thread is indicative only and can vary between manufacturers within normal practice. It is not necessary to
have a long thread length because of the thread length that is required to be made - in recent years shorter thread lengths are being
recommended increasingly, especially when for machine operations. ISO R.529 sets a maximum threaded length, but not a minimum.
Taps may be supplied with coatings such as TiN (Titanium nitride) to special order, the quantity ordered determining the unit price.
Taps to special tolerance classes (i.e. other than Class 2) may be supplied to special order, the quantity determining the unit price.
oversize taps (for making threads which are to be subsequently plated, or for insert repair) may also be ordered, and are subject to
quantity scales as above. Please be sure to specify the exact oversize required, or the insert repair system used.
Sets of Taps
A set of three hand taps in this series will consist of taps with taper, second, and bottoming leads. They are full form, and so
differ only in the length of the chamfered lead provided, so it may not always be necessary to use a full sequence of three taps to
make the finished thread [compare this with serial form taps -shown here (in metric size) under DIN352. Whitworth serial form taps
may be supplied, but only to special order].
