Goliath 5 x 0.8 mm MC Bottoming Machine | AIMS Industrial

Applications

• Machine Nut Taps are used where a long shank is needed and are available in Taper, Intermediate, and Bottoming leads
• Ideal for tapping nuts, small quantities made from tough steel such as stainless steel as well as mild steels, or for rethreading rusty or worn threads
• These small diameter taps are often designed for use in automatic machines, CNC machines, or precision tapping heads, where a round shank is held securely in a collet or special tap holder rather than a tap wrench

Specifications

• Alternatively, the Intermediate and Bottoming leads are ideally suited to long reach threading applications where the thread needing to be tapped or cleaned is beyond the reach of a standard tap
• HSS Bright Finish Metric Coarse Machine Nut Bottoming Tap
• To ensure easy and precise use the Machine Nut Tap Taper lead has a unique, very long entering chamfer
• Metric Coarse angle of thread is 60 degrees
• 3mm machine taps lack the traditional square drive end, featuring instead a plain round shank
• Because they lack the square, it is often recommended to use specialised collets that can hold the small round shank without slipping. If using by hand, some suggest using a collet-type pin vice or specialised tap wrenches that can grip small rounds
