XTF Forming Taps Designed for High-Speed Tapping
Share:
Schaumburg, IL, June 2, 2008 - At IMTS 2008, Vega Tool Corporation will feature the XTF Forming Tap, a high-performance TiCN coated tap ideal for high-speed tapping of stainless and carbon steels.
XTF Forming Taps produce threads by displacing material to create the thread form. Since there are no cutting chips, higher speeds can be achieved compared to conventional cutting taps. Unlike competitive forming taps, the XTF Forming Tap's crests are rounded off to promote smooth plastic flow and prevent cracks and burrs in the root of the internal thread.
The XTF Forming Taps feature a high Cobalt HSS substrate, which improves the taps' hardness and heat-resistance. The TiCN (Titanium Carbon Nitride) coating further enhances these properties, allowing the XTF Forming Taps to perform at higher feed rates than competitive forming taps.
XTF Forming Taps are available in inch sizes from 0-80 to ½"-20, and in metric sizes from M2 x 0.4 to M12 x 1.75. For more information on XTF Forming Taps or any other Vega Cutting Tool products, please contact Vega Tool Corporation at 800-228-2969 or visit their website at www.vega-tool.com.
