Thread forming taps cold form rather than cut the threads. Advantages include no chips to dispose of, stronger higher quality threads, increased tapping speeds, longer tap life and reduced tap breakage. Recommended for a wide variety of ductile materials.

Plug Style (4 threads tapered) for thru holes and blind holes with adequate depth. The longer taper lead is easier starting, requires less torque, produces less burr above the mouth of the tapped hole and increases tool life.

Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coating results in an extremely hard surface with high lubricity for increased tool life, improved thread quality, reduced torque and increased tapping speeds for greater productivity.
