Taps can provide an increase in tool life
of 2 to 6 times depending on the application.
The extremely hard and durable surface and high lubricity
delivers long tool life, reduces friction and galling allowing
higher speeds for higher productivity and less down time.

TAPPING SPEED GUIDE
TAPPING SPEED GUIDE

Proper tapping speeds are very
important in obtaining efficient
tapping results. There are many
factors which affect proper tapping
speeds, some of which are listed
below and to the right.
MATERIAL FACTORS:
Thermo-conductivity of the
material and wall thickness
as it affects heat dispersion
Variations in carbon content of steel
Hard spots in material
Depth of hole to be tapped
Percentage of full thread
to be tapped

MECHANICAL FACTORS:
36
Type of tapping machine and holder; speeds for small diameter taps are often governed by
the limitations of the machine
Condition of tapping machine and spindle
Type of fixture; vertical or horizontal tapping (faster speeds for vertical tapping)
Method of feeding the tap
Cutting fluid used and method of application
The optimum speed for tapping is the highest speed that conditions permit,
consistent with economic tool life

TAP/DRILL CHART-INCH
To minimize tapping problems and lengthen

tool life, use the largest drill possible to
produce a minor diameter that will result
in the lowest percentage of full thread
consistent with adequate strength. A minor
diameter that provides a 55% to 65%
thread is sufficient for most requirements,
but in some cases a higher percentage
of thread may be necessary to conform
with the minor diameter limits of the thread
class specified.

Drills generally cut holes larger than their

diameters. In the table to the right, the
probable percentages of full thread were
determined by the average amount oversize
the various drills are expected to cut.
