Goliath PG Taper HSS Bright Straight Flute Tap

• HSS Bright Finish PG Hand and Machine Taper Tap.
• HSS Straight Flute Short Machine and Hand Taps.
• These general-purpose taps are ideal for creating new threads in a wide variety of materials.
• Goliath HSS taps provide a high hardness-to-toughness ratio, compressive and tensile strength, good abrasion resistance and resistance to micro-chipping, ensuring a long tool life.
• Panzerrohr-Gewinde thread form was developed in Germany for joining electrical conduit and cable glands.
• Because the conduit walls are thin, obtaining a satisfactory thread depth was a problem.
• For this reason, the PG thread form has a thread angle of 80°.
• The number shown as part of the size identification for the PG thread form denotes the maximum cable diameter in millimetres that can be passed through the conduit.
• Taper Taps have a lead of eight threads and are used as a starting tap in difficult or high-precision holes.
• Manufactured from HSS this general-purpose tap is designed for use in medium tensile materials and is for hand or general machine use.
