Seco Tools has launched a new line of thread cutting and forming taps. The new range features three performance levels that allow manufacturers to match the right tap to their specific application, generating precision threads and providing chip evacuation, shorter setup times, and longer tool life. This cost-effective solution helps reduce the number of taps manufacturers need to keep in stock, lowering their tooling inventory costs.
Seco Tools has launched a new line of thread cutting and forming taps that come in three performance levels. The line offers customers a range of high-quality taps at competitive prices. The product designations are T32 and T34 in thread cutting taps and T33 in forming taps. The three performance levels vary in terms of universal general-purpose type taps, higher performance taps that work well in various workpiece materials and material-specific thread cutting and forming taps that are optimized for specific advanced materials.
The taps are made of superior base materials, advanced coatings and special edge preparations to generate precision threads. They also provide excellent chip evacuation, shorter setup times and longer tool life. Matching the right tap to the application extends tool life, reduces the risk of unexpected tap breakage and scrapping parts after hours of machining have been invested.
Customers can select the tap that corresponds to their specific application, and the range of tap performance levels ensures that manufacturers only pay for the level of tap performance they require. The basic level of the taps is a versatile and cost-effective solution that helps reduce the number of taps needed and lowers tooling inventory costs. In contrast, the top performance level is material-specific thread cutting and forming taps, optimized for steel or other advanced materials.
The new line of taps provides customers with a one-stop solution for high-quality taps at competitive prices. While the taps are affordable, they maintain the same high quality that customers have come to expect from Seco Tools. The new product line offers manufacturers the ability to cost-effectively match the right tap to their specific application, resulting in precision threads, excellent chip evacuation, shorter setup times and longer tool life.
