![]() ![]() ![]() I'm sure there has to be some better taps available that may help. In this case the tap was a 70's vintage craftsman brand. from other cut features: tap hole size/2 + the minimum tap hole-to-edge distance for. ![]() These work as threading devices and are simple to install in drill holes. It works the same for tapped holes and their appropriate fasteners. Three fixtures are included in this set: Taper Tap: This involves rubbing and chamfering the lower side of 8 to 10 threads. This includes what collets to use, how to prepare the. Hand tap: These taps are utilized as a set. In this video we explain how to thread blind holes in Stainless Steel using the Dormer Blue Shark tap. My tap felt like it was going to snap as well but in my case I didn't have a lot to loose and twisted harder than I thought possible without breaking, but the same tap held up through 6 holes. There is a total of 10 types of Thread Taps they are mentioned as follows: 1. Maybe someone knows of a high end tap that would work better? I know some taps have coatings that are supposed to make them last longer, but not sure if they will make this specific job any easier. I'm sure you used it while tapping as well. I often have to perform tapping in stainless steel for a 4-40 UNC tap. Material: Stainless 304 The thread goes 30mm deep Thread size: m4 How should I tap it Peck tapping Tapping it in one go I don't do allot of stainless. You mentioned using cutting oil when drilling. 1 I need some help with tapping some M4 thread in a part. I think it's just the difficulty with the material that is giving you problems. I have a need to tap a 5/16-18 thread into the end of a piece of 3/4'diameter 304 stainless rod. Spiralock inserts are made of cold-rolled Grade 304 stainless steel wire. Cool Tool, or a similar good threading oil will help. 1 Tapping Stainless steel 04-05-2006, 03:29 PM Its been a while since I've posted I have a question about tapping stainless steel. load on the first engaged thread produced with a Spiralock tap is significantly. I prefer gun taps but there are other favorites. Make sure you choose the right tap drill for roll tapping. It will create no chips because you are forming the thread so you can take the tap as close to the bottom as you wish. Clean the hole before starting the bottom tap. It's a stronger thread and the lead on the tap is not as long as a gun tap. I'm sure I would have broken a tap in deeper holes as tough as the going was. Run a 2 tap in your hole as deep as you can before starting with the bottom tap. I had hand taps so I did the usual 1/4 to 1/2 turn and back-up. I'm glad they were through holes and only 1/4" deep. One of the manufacturers (cant remember which one) has published data on allowable torque for various tap forms, and the differences from one type to another are a lot greater than you might guess.My recent experience is limited in ss304 to tapping about a half dozen through holes in some 1/4" material. On a gun tap, the fewer flutes it has, the more torque capacity it has. Gun taps and form taps will both hold up a lot better. Now, for something more useful, I agree with Mike Rainey and Izzoe that spiral flute taps are about the weakest of all taps, and should be reserved for use when nothing else will work. Form tapping is typically used in steels, stainless steels, light metal alloys and non-ferrous materials. ![]() That's sorta general knowledge and the type thing that keeps tooling specialists employed in large metal cutting operations. No one company makes the "best in all cases" tool of any type. Here's another news flash for you.We might be "slow" by your standards, but most of us mental midgets can recognize someone who announces "brand x is the best" as being even dumber and less experienced than most of us idiots. In case you've never noticed, parts discolor during heat treatment, even if they're done in a controlled atmosphere or even in a vacuum furnace.
