Made-to-order and Special Taps
August 1, 2014
North American Tool Corporation will display its line of made-to-order special taps and other special taps. The company will also feature its newly released Tap Hole Size Calculator, a mobile app for smartphones. The app features a calculator for recommended hole sizes when tapping various materials.
"This functional tap engineering app is more than a hole size calculator in that the user can also achieve torque and horsepower recommendations based on the type and size of tap, material being tapped, spindle RPM and tap style used (hand, spiral point, spiral flute)," said a company spokesperson.
Tap application calculations are further enhanced by a fully functional trigonometry calculator that aids in resolving angles in certain tapping applications. Practical tapping applications include determining hole positions and calculating the material depth required to drill a hole at any angle. There are many other general machining applications as well.
The Thread Tap App features a complete listing of popular special taps in inch and metric sizes, as well as taps made to custom specifications. Pertinent engineering data is available with all tap offerings.
