Description

The taper tap can be identified by the visible and pronounced tapering of the cutting edges. This provides a very gradual and less aggressive cutting action. The distinct feature of a taper tap is the 8 to 10 threads that taper from the tip to the full cutting force diameter. A taper tap is most often used as a starter tap for difficult blind holes. The gentle taper of the cutting edge is the most forgiving when tapping by hand and allows for a straight hole to be cut in especially hard materials. Hand taps are widely used in metalworking, manufacturing, repair, construction, automotive, aerospace, electronics and other industries and for DIY projects to create internal threads in workpieces. Taper Tap The first tap in the set is called the taper tap. It has a more gradual cutting edge and is used to start the threading process. Its longer length helps guide the tap into the hole and gradually cut the threads. During the 19th and 20th centuries, thread standardization was evolving simultaneously with the techniques of thread generation, including taps and dies. where T D {\displaystyle TD} is the tap drill size, M D {\displaystyle MD} is the major diameter of the tap (e.g., 10mm for a M10×1.5 tap), and pitch is the pitch of the thread (1.5mm in the case of a standard M10 tap) and so the correct drill size is 8.5mm. This works for both fine and coarse pitches, and also produces an approximate 75 percent thread.

Plug taps are great when used with through-holes, as they are almost as easy as taper taps to start, but also offer a more complete set of threads. Tap Wrench - Tap wrenches are essential tools used to turn hand taps during the threading process. They provide a secure grip on the tap's square shank and allow you to apply the necessary rotational force to cut threads into the workpiece. There are different types of tap wrenches, each designed for specific applications. Hand Tap Sets - They are designed to provide the necessary taps for different stages of the threading process, ensuring that you have the right tools to create accurate and clean threads. A typical tap set includes a Taper, Second and Plug. Taps and dies are tools used to create screw threads, which is called threading. Many are cutting tools; others are forming tools. A tap is used to cut or form the female portion of the mating pair (e.g. a nut). A die is used to cut or form the male portion of the mating pair (e.g. a bolt). The process of cutting or forming threads using a tap is called tapping, whereas the process using a die is called threading.

Hand taps are common engineer's tools, used in multiple industries to create internal threads in a variety of materials, typically metal. They are designed to be operated by hand. Hand taps are typically made from durable materials like high speed steel and feature flutes or grooves along their length to aid in chip removal during the threading process.

While modern nuts and bolts are routinely made of metal, this was not the case in earlier ages, when woodworking tools were employed to fashion very large wooden bolts and nuts for use in winches, windmills, watermills, and flour mills of the Middle Ages; the ease of cutting and replacing wooden parts was balanced by the need to resist large amounts of torque, and bear up against ever heavier loads of weight. As the loads grew ever heavier, bigger and stronger bolts were needed to resist breakage. Some nuts and bolts were measured by the foot or yard. This development eventually led to a complete replacement of wood parts with metal parts of an identical measure. When a wooden part broke, it usually snapped, ripped, or tore. With the splinters having been sanded off, the remaining parts were reassembled, encased in a makeshift mold of clay, and molten metal poured into the mold, so that an identical replacement could be made on the spot.Tap in a wrench for creating female threads (left), and die in a wrench for creating male threads (right). So what are the types of taps? There are 3 main taps you should be familiar with and they are: Taper, Plug, and Bottoming tap.

Hand Taps - Hand taps are single taps designed for threading holes of varying depths. They are available a wide range of thread sizes and pitches. There are 3 main tap types: Taper Taps, Second Taps and Plug Taps. Each tap is used at different stages of the tapping process. Hand taps are employed when there's a need to create threaded holes for screws, bolts, or other fasteners in a workpiece. They are generally used in situations where precision and manual control are crucial, such as in small-scale manufacturing, repairs, and projects where a power-driven tapping machine might not be suitable. Choosing the right tap always depends on the type of hole you are trying to cut or clean, as well as the type of material you are tapping. If you are using a guide plate and guide bushing like that of a ProMAXX ProKit, we recommend using the aggressive and complete cutting action of the bottoming tap. If you are tapping freehand, you will want to start with a taper tap then work your way up to the complete cutting action of the bottoming tap. Improper or zero float for use with screw machines (recommended feed .1 slower to establish float for 40tpi or higher and .15 slower for 40tpi or finer [4])

Intermediate Tap - An intermediate tap is used to further refine and deepen screw threads started by a starter tap. Solid dies cut a nominal thread form and depth, whose accuracy is subject to the precision the die was made with, and the effects of wear. Adjustable dies can be slightly compressed or expanded to provide some compensation for wear, or to achieve different classes of thread fit (class A, B and more rarely, C). Adjustable taps also exist but are not common. These have a tip that is split through the flutes and an axial screw which forces the cutting edges slightly apart. Double-lead taps and insert taps need different speeds and feeds, and different starting hole diameters than other taps. Plug Tap The final tap in the set is the plug tap. It has a shorter cutting edge and is used to finish the threads close to the bottom of the hole.

Hand-tapper: A simple fixture analogous to an arbor press in its basic shape. Its spindle is thus held accurately perpendicular to the work. Standard taps are held in the spindle, and the operator turns the spindle manually via a handlebar. This fixture obviates the need for the operator to carefully and skillfully approximate perpendicularity, which even for a skilled operator can easily result in a 2–5° error. Whether manual or automatic, the processing of tapping begins with forming (usually by drilling) and slightly countersinking a hole to a diameter somewhat smaller than the tap's major diameter. The correct hole diameter is listed on a drill and tap size chart, a standard reference in many machine shops. The proper diameter for the drill is called the tap drill size. Without a tap drill chart, you can compute the correct tap drill diameter with: With soft or average hardness materials, such as plastic, aluminum or mild steel, common practice is to use an intermediate (plug) tap to cut the threads. If the threads must extend to the bottom of a blind hole, the machinist uses an intermediate (plug) tap to cut threads until the point of the tap reaches bottom, and then switches to a bottoming tap to finish. The machinist must frequently eject chips to avoid jamming or breaking the tap. With hard materials, the machinist may start with a taper tap, whose less severe diameter transition reduces the torque required to cut threads. To threads to the bottom of a blind hole, the machinist follows the taper tap with an intermediate (plug) tap, and then a bottoming tap to finish. A tap cuts or forms a thread on the inside surface of a hole, creating a female surface that functions like a nut. The three taps in the image illustrate the basic types commonly used by most machinists: Keenan, Julian Paul (2005). ASVAB - The Best Test Prep. Research & Education Association. ISBN 978-0-7386-0063-5.Length compensation: built in length compensation takes care of small push or pull to the spindle or feed difference. A tap is used to make (cut) new threads or clean out (chase) existing threads in a screw mechanism. Though this tool is most commonly used by machinists and engineers, automotive technicians may also have a tapping set in their toolbox. There are dozens of situations where having a solid knowledge and appreciation for the science behind tapping threads into a piece of machinery can prevent hours of troublesome work and hundreds of dollars in replacement parts.
