Standardised taps whose accuracy you can rely on

Tapping drills, just like machine screw tap, are standardised parts in accordance with DIN 2184 Part 2 and DIN 352. The Standards Committee for Tools and Clamping Devices (FWS) is responsible for developing these standards. The standardisation covers characteristics such as the overall length or the maximum thread length. It stipulates that reinforced shanks must be used for thread diameters ranging from 0.9 to 6.4 mm. For larger thread diameters, tapered shanks are used. With tapered shanks, the shank at the short machine tap is smaller than the thread, allowing the thread to be cut deeper into the core hole diameter. You can rely on our products to be of consistently high quality, meeting the specifications set out here exactly. The parts are manufactured to ensure you derive the greatest benefit in practice.

Short machine tap Set – one drill bit instead of three for the same result

The unique feature of our drills is that you only need one of them. With the comparison in the hand screw tap sets, you can cut the thread completely in a single pass.
