FAQs
How to use a hand tap?
Depending on the type of tap being used and the applications, many can be used with a tap wrench or power tool. For smooth and precise thread cutting, a wrench tool is more suitable, whereas a power tool is suited to rapid thread cutting. Once attached, the hand tap can be rotated to cut the thread in the required material.
What are the hand taps made of?
RS PRO hand tap sets are manufactured from high speed steel (HSS), offering excellent corrosion resistance and the ability to withstand higher temperatures. They also feature a blue stream tempered finish helping to reduce friction and produce a cleaner thread.
What is the difference between taper, second and plug taps?
Taper taps are often used to create new threads in materials and are ideal for tougher material such as steel, allowing for a gradual and smooth tapered cut. Second and plug taps have a shorter taper and more threads and are often used to create and re-cut threads at a faster rate.
