Tap Designed to Thread a Range of Materials
The MultiTAP is a high-performance tap designed to cut a variety of materials, such as carbon steel, steel alloys, stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, copper, brass and bronze.
The tap is constructed of a proprietary grade of high speed steel (HSS-E), nitrided with a Ne2 surface treatment. It is available in both spiral-point and spiral-flute configurations for through- or blind-hole applications. Tap sizes cover a full range for UNC or UNF threads, including inch sizes ranging from #4-40 to ¾"-16 to metric sizes ranging from M4 × 0.7 to M16 × 2.0.
