Screw taps and thread cutting dies
convince with BAER quality
A professional threading tool can be recognised by its precise grinding pattern and burr-free cutting edges. This is because temperature and friction are reduced, which leads to improved chip removal. You can rely on this with the taps and taps from BAER Tools.
We manufacture tools for professionals and act like professionals ourselves. Because we always maintain a high-quality industrial quality. Our high-precision manufacturing ensures long tool life and the best tool quality you can imagine. To give you optimum security, our quality management is ISO 9001 certified. If you are looking for strong tools with high standards, you have come to the right place.
Thread cutting dies for precise external threads
Taps are particularly versatile and powerful tools. They are needed when it comes to producing precise external threads that are cut on bolts. At BAER you have a large selection for different angles. They are suitable for different materials and can be operated either mechanically or manually. Our BAER taps are suitable for cutting bolts and screws - and that in many different thread types and thread standards.
This is what BAER thread cutting dies look like
Our thread cutting dies are cylindrical and have three or more cutting edges. The holes on cutting die or flutes on screw taps between the cutting edges pick up chips, roll them and carry them away. The material is high-speed steel.
When using a thread cutting tool, it is important that it is kept straight all the time. It should also be secured with screws during use so that it does not twist. It should also be sufficiently lubricated before use.
How do I choose the right threading tool?
While round thread cutting dies are best used together with die stocks or machines, hexagon die nuts are optimal for spanners or hexagon nuts.
Among the round threading tools there are those for normal use or those that are suitable for special materials. For example, if you want to cut stainless steel, you need a particularly powerful threading tool. A thread cutting die for brass also needs to be carefully selected. Undersize thread cutting dies are particularly suitable if the materials are to be treated further after cutting. For particularly special cases, we will also be happy to manufacture a suitable thread cutting die for you. Please contact us and we will design your individual thread cutting tool together.
Advantages of our threading tools
In addition to their outstanding quality, threading tools from BAER have many other convincing advantages. They can also be used in tight spaces and require little torque due to their particularly sharp cutting edges. They are versatile, as they are suitable for simple tapping attachments up to multi-spindle machines. Thread cutting dies can also be used from both sides, depending on the design.
Screw taps for perfect internal threads
Screw taps from BAER are suitable for producing perfect internal threads in bores, holes or pipes. But how do you choose the right screw tap? First ask yourself whether you want to operate the screw tap manually or mechanically. Hand taps and machine taps, for example, are suitable for manual use. For machine use, a machine tap must be used. Furthermore, clamping angles, base materials and surface treatments must be considered when choosing a threading tool.
If you are looking for high-quality and versatile screw taps, be sure to also check out BaerCoil. Here you will find short machine taps for wire thread inserts, practical combined taps or the PRO machine tap for wire thread inserts.
