Emuge Corp. has announced the expansion of its MultiTAP line, tools designed to cut numerous materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, steel alloys, aluminum, cast iron, copper, brass and bronze. With 87 new SKUs, this expansion includes both regular and extended-length spiral point and spiral flute taps, as well as roll form taps.
These taps have a geometric design as well as a special base material and surface treatment, aiming to allow them to handle numerous materials and applications. They can produce threads within both 2B and 3B classes of fit.
They are made from high-vanadium cobalt high-speed steel (HSS-E), nitrided with a Ne2 surface treatment or TiCN-coated for extended tool life. Both spiral point and spiral flute configurations for through- or blind-hole applications are available.
