- Function and compatibility - Plug tap designed to cut internal threads in holes that are open or through holes, enabling secure fastener engagement. - Material - HSS-E substrate material provides durability and wear resistance for repeated tapping. - Finish - Steam-oxide finish helps prevent the tap from welding to the workpiece, reducing sticking and improving thread quality. - Key benefits - Produces precise internal threads compatible with standard fasteners in open or through holes. - Durable construction with HSS-E substrate supports longer service life under tapping workloads. - Steam-oxide finish minimizes galling and seizing for smoother operation. - Use scenarios - Tapping internal threads in a metal plate or panel that includes through holes for bolts. - Repairing damaged threads in a through-hole on a machine housing during maintenance. - Fabricating parts that require reliable internal threads in open or through hole applications.
