Taps are used to create new internal and external threads on screws, nuts, bolts and other components or to repair existing threads. Taps come in many designs for various materials and thread standards and sizes.

Actuating tools such as tap wrenches, tool ratchets or die holders are used to turn dies and taps during manual use and to cut threads precisely. They offer improved power transmission, protect the hands and enable efficient work when producing internal and external threads.

A thread restorer from BAER is a specialized tool for repairing damaged threads. It is used to recut and smooth threads without enlarging them. Ideal for repairs in workshops and industrial applications as it saves time and money. The thread restorer is versatile and suitable for various materials such as steel, aluminum and plastic.

Lubricants are indispensable for efficient and precise thread cutting. They are used:

• To reduce friction: Lubricants minimize friction between the tool and the workpiece, which significantly improves cutting performance.

• For heat dissipation: They help to dissipate the heat generated during the cutting process and thus prevent overheating.

• For tool protection: Through reduced friction and heat, the service life of your threading tools is significantly extended.

• For better surface quality: Lubricants contribute to a smoother thread surface.

• For all threading work: Recommended for manual and machine threading operations in various materials. High-quality thread cutting oils or pastes should be used in every cutting process to achieve optimum results and protect your tools.

Metric taps are suitable for a wide range of materials and are versatile. They can precisely machine metals such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass and copper. They are also ideal for machining plastics and other soft materials. It is important to select the right tap for the respective material in order to achieve optimum results and extend the service life of the tool. Also pay attention to correct lubrication and cooling, especially with harder materials such as stainless steel.

Antwort: Kurz gesagt: Im Alltag werden beide Begriffe oft synonym verwendet, doch fachlich gibt es einen entscheidenden Unterschied.

Gewindebohrer: Dies ist der korrekte Fachbegriff für Werkzeuge, mit denen Sie Innengewinde (also in ein Loch hinein) fertigen. Ein Gewindebohrer schneidet – bzw. bei speziellen Ausführungen formt – das Gewinde in ein zuvor erstelltes Kernloch. Wenn Sie also eine Schraube in ein Bauteil eindrehen möchten, benötigen Sie einen Gewindebohrer.

Gewindeschneider: Dieser Begriff wird umgangssprachlich häufig als Sammelbegriff für Werkzeuge verwendet, mit denen Gewinde hergestellt werden. Fachlich korrekt unterscheidet man jedoch zwischen Gewindebohrern für Innengewinde und Schneideisen für Außengewinde (z. B. für Bolzen oder Rohre). „Gewindeschneider“ ist somit kein normgerechter Werkzeugbegriff, sondern eine gebräuchliche Bezeichnung.

Warum ist das wichtig? Auch wenn viele Heimwerker nach einem „Gewindeschneider-Set“ suchen, meinen sie meist ein Set aus Gewindebohrern (für Innengewinde) und Schneideisen (für Außengewinde). Bei BAER Tools legen wir Wert auf Präzision: Wenn Sie bei uns nach einem Gewindebohrer suchen, erhalten Sie ein spezialisiertes Werkzeug für maßhaltige und saubere Innengewinde – egal ob für die Handanwendung oder für den Einsatz in der Maschine.

Taps are tools that cut internal threads in materials such as metal or plastic. They work by removing material with sharp cutting edges and thereby creating precise threads. BAER offers a wide range of high-quality taps for a wide range of applications and materials.

To choose the right tap for your application, you should consider the following factors:

• Material: BAER offers taps for a wide range of materials from aluminum and brass to structural and stainless steels to titanium and plastics.
• Thread type and size: Choose the appropriate tap for your required thread type (e.g. metric, imperial) and size.
• Processing type: Decide between manual (hand tap) and machine processing (machine tap).
• Application environment: The UNiTap is suitable for changing requirements as it saves costs and can be used universally.

BAER offers a wide range of taps, including special models such as the UNiTap, which is known for its long service life and efficiency.

In most cases, you will actually need a regular drill (twist drill) bit to pre-drill a core hole before tapping. This ensures that the tap can work optimally. However, BAER also offers innovative solutions that combine both work steps:

Standard procedure:

• Pre-drilling with a twist drill
• Subsequent thread cutting with a tap

BAER combination machine tap:

• Drilling and thread cutting in one operation
• Saves time and reduces tool changes
• Ideal for efficient production processes

Choosing the right process depends on your specific application, the material being processed, and your efficiency requirements. The experienced BAER team will be happy to provide individual advice.

UNiTap taps from BAER are universal high-end tools that stand out from other taps with the following features:

• Material variety: Process almost all materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum and more.
• Special geometry: Reduces friction and torque for better cutting results.
• TiAlN coating: Increases hardness and temperature resistance for longer service life.
• Flexibility: Replaces multiple taps, allowing up to 90% cost savings.
• Efficient chip removal: Suitable for through and blind holes.

The UNiTap offers excellent thread quality and is ideal for workshops with changing requirements because a single tap can handle different cutting cases.

Yes, BAER UNiTap taps are designed for multiple uses. They are characterized by the following properties:

Dies are used to cut or repair external threads on cylindrical components such as rods or bolts.

They serve to:

• Create new external threads to make screws or bolts
• Repair damaged or worn external threads
• To improve the accuracy of screw connections

Dies are the counterpart to taps, which are used for internal threads. Together, these tools enable the production of precise and secure screw connections in metal processing, mechanical engineering and DIY.
