Introduction to tool material
Choice of tool material The choice of tool material not only affects the machining accuracy and workpiece surface quality. But also affects the cutting efficiency and production cost. Tool materials mainly include tungsten carbide, tool steel (carbon tool steel, alloy tool steel, high-speed steel), ceramics, and superhard materials (synthetic diamond PCD, cubic boron nitride CBN). From […]
Spiral point tap vs Straight flute tap
Thread taps are generally classified as follows： According to different drives, it is divided into hand taps and machine taps The processing method is divided into cutting taps and extrusion taps The thread to be processed is divided into metric coarse thread tap, BSW/BSFthread, UNC/UNFthread, pipe thread tap, etc. According to the shape of the […]
Cermet / Metal ceramic milling cutter
Advantages of cermet milling cutters: 1. High-temperature resistance can be dry cut; 2. Wear-resistant, soft and hard materials are common; 3. No coating is required, and can be re-grinded repeatedly; 4. The friction coefficient is small, and the surface gloss of the workpiece is high (if the customer has higher requirements on this point, I […]
What are the characteristics of thread milling in machining
In fact, our thread milling has certain advantages compared with thread tapping, as follows: The same thread milling cutter can process threads with different diameters and the same tooth profile, which can reduce the number of tools, save the time for tool change, improve efficiency and facilitate tool management. The same thread milling cutter can […]
Common thread tap materials (tungsten carbide; high-speed steel)
High-speed steel and Tungsten carbide are the two most commonly used materials in machining. CNC tools made with them are tougher and easier to cut than regular CNC tools. High-speed steel and Tungsten carbide have red hardness, that is, the ability of the material to maintain its hardness after being kept at a certain temperature […]
The difference between extrusion taps and cutting taps
In this article, we will briefly introduce the difference between extrusion taps and cutting taps. Cutting taps: Cutting taps include straight groove taps, tip taps, spiral taps, etc. Cutting taps are used to cut the workpiece through the cutting flute. It is the most widely used with high processing efficiency and is relatively Cost-effective. Extrusion […]

The perfect supply chain makes products of high quality and low price. Meanwhile, the product can be produced very quickly. Buying products from China is very popular […]
The world’s leading thread tap brands, see which one is right for you?
There are many famous thread tap brands in the world with a good reputations in quality and service. The rankings are in no particular order. Each brand of tap has its own unique features. As long as you choose the right materials to provide the right taps, each tap can maximize its efficiency. OSG, Japan: Japanese […]
Surface treatment & coating
In the beginning, machining was less complicated. At least it seems that way from a present-day point of view. Material available for use was found on a much shorter list. Options for machinery and tooling were more limited. Coolants and lubricants were literally water and oil. Today, we are presented with nearly unlimited options in […]
Types of thread taps
Thread taps are used in cutting the female portion of a mating pair in metal fasteners. On the other hand, a die cuts the male part of the metal fasteners. Taps cut nuts and die-cut bolts. There is a difference between threading and tapping. Both threading and tapping produce screw threads. However, threading produces external threads whereas […]
