Strong as a BAER – with versatile thread machining

This is how screw tap manufacturers like BAER produce tools for the thread machining

As screw tap manufacturers, we would like to familiarise you a little more closely with the manufacturing process of our tools. It all starts with the materials used. As a manufacturer of taps, we pay particular attention to quality here. If a screw tap manufacturer uses inferior steel, there is always a risk that both the thread and the tap will be damaged at thread machining and will not have the desired tool life time quality.

That is why we only use the best high-performance high-speed steels. In this material group, screw tap manufacturers find particularly hard steels that are heat-resistant and have outstanding cutting properties. These alloys provide the perfect basis for a long tool life. After all, you should be able to rely on the quality of our products for thread machining for a long time.

The screw tap manufacturer produces a blank from the steel, which is initially still soft. In a special hardening process, the blank is hardened and alternately heated and cooled. Tap manufacturers refer to this step as tempering. This ensures the special hardness of the later drill and makes the hardness structure homogeneous. Then screw tap manufacturers grind the shape. The grooves, the gate and the thread itself are precisely worked with state-of-the-art machines. Great care is required here, because the work is literally in the micrometre range. The surface of the tap and the machining of the cutting edges are particularly important.

The finished screw tap then goes to our state-of-the-art warehouse. We have over 10,000 different tools and thread inserts ready for you here at any time. At BAER, you order directly from the screw tap manufacturer. This means you can always rely on our high stock availability and short delivery times. This means that you will always have the tool you need quickly at thread machining.

At screw tap manufacturer BAER we produce different types of taps

As a screw tap manufacturer, we have screw tap in a wide variety of designs in our online shop. But what are the actual differences between the tools for thread machining? We bring light into the darkness!

Basically, as a screw tap manufacturer, we distinguish between hand taps and machine taps. Although these two types are similar in design, they are used differently. Hand taps are suitable for manual use. They are usually offered by tap manufacturers in sets of three taps each, which are used in a specific sequence at thread machining.

Machine taps can only be used with a machine. These are often so-called single-cut taps. This means that with these taps the entire thread can be cut in one step. Machine taps enable many threads to be cut quickly in a short time, which is why they are mostly produced for the industrial sector by screw tap manufacturers.

Whether made by the tap manufacturer for manual use or for the machine, all screw tap have a shank and a head. Further details can be seen on the head shape. For example, you can see here whether the screw tap is suitable for a blind hole or a through hole. However, the most important feature for screw tap manufacturers is the serrated profile, which is mainly responsible for the thread cutting process. Pitch is the term screw tap manufacturers use to describe the distance between the two tips of a tooth. The angle that results between the teeth is the thread angle. All these characteristics together define the thread type for tap manufacturers.

The characteristics of the thread type are specified for all tap manufacturers and are standardised according to international standards. This guarantees that tools of the same standard for thread dimensioning are used on all industrial applications, regardless of the place of use and screw tap manufacturer. As screw tap manufacturer, we take our task very seriously to follow the standards down to the smallest detail. In doing so, we see UNS as an internationally active screw tap manufacturer. In our range you will not only find the customary European standards, but also many other standards and special forms that are used worldwide.
