Sutton T520 M6 x 1 Forming Tap Multi Coolant Groove P Lead - HSSE - TiN - JIS
Available
The Sutton T520 is a forming (roll) tap with multi coolant groove for metric coarse (M) threads, made from premium grade high speed steel (HSSE) with a gold titanium nitride (TiN) coating. This listing covers 4 sizes from M3 x 0.5 to M10 x 1.5.
A forming tap has no flutes and does not cut: it rolls the thread by displacing the metal, so it makes no chips and suits blind and through holes. Forming needs more machine power because of the torque involved, the rolled thread is stronger than a cut thread because the grain structure stays uniform through the thread form, and the tapping drill size differs from that of a cutting tap.
The tap is built to JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards).
Where this product is used
- For cold forming of threads in materials with good flow characteristics.
- Suitable for material with >10% elongation.
- P lead for through holes.
