Taps

HSS taps for reliable internal threading

HSS taps are used when drilled holes need accurate internal threads for screws, bolts or other fastening requirements. They support dependable thread formation across workshop, maintenance and production environments where users need a familiar tool type with stable cutting performance.

Choosing between hand taps and machine taps

Hand taps are suitable for manual threading, repair work and controlled low-volume operations, while machine taps are designed for faster and more consistent production use. Selecting the right tap depends on the material, hole type, thread requirement and whether the operation is performed manually or on a machine.
