About Seco Snap-Tap® Threading System

• We use advanced manufacturing processes to produce the precision cutting edges on our Snap-Tap® thread turning tools.
• The process eliminates the need for secondary grinding or honing operations, which makes these tools a highly economical choice.
• Pair these tools with our Anti-Twist Toolholders and solid suggestions from our Thread Tuning Wizard software and there’s no thread turning application you can’t handle.
• Our popular range of Snap-Tap® thread turning tools are available in three insert chipbreaker geometries for the successful machining of steel and stainless steel.
• While each geometry serves a unique purpose, they all feature the CP500 grade that features a highly wear-resistant PVD coating to provide dependable machining for a large majority of common thread turning applications.
• The innovative tool holders made for use with Snap-Tap® inserts offer the best possible holding power available for long tool life and high accuracy.
• They employ an Anti-Twist insert locking system that features a carbide pin in the back of the insert pocket that resists wear and prevents the insert from turning or twisting under pressure during machining.
• For added insert and tool holder rigidity, a D-style clamp securely pulls the insert down and into the pocket.
