Sutton T527 5/16 x 18 TPI Forming Tap Single Coolant Groove B Lead - HSSE - TiN - JIS
Out of stock
The Sutton T527 is a forming (roll) tap with single coolant groove for UNC threads, made from premium grade high speed steel (HSSE) with a gold titanium nitride (TiN) coating. This listing covers 8 sizes from #4 x 40 TPI to 5/16 x 18 TPI.
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.
- Through or blind holes.
- Depths up to approx. 3 x d1.
Design features
- Premium grade high speed steel (HSSE). The vanadium grade gives high wear resistance and toughness for most tapping applications.
- Gold titanium nitride (TiN) coating for 3 to 8 times longer tool life than uncoated tools, with higher speeds and feeds.
- JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) construction.
