CoroTap® 100

CoroTap 100 is a range of straight flute taps that are optimized for short chipping ISO K, ISO N and ISO H materials. Suitable for through and blind holes.

The hole

For basic hole size calculations, use the appropriate formulas for cutting taps.

  • D = Hole diameter (mm, inch)
  • TD = Nominal thread diameter (mm, inch)
  • TP = Thread pitch (mm, inch) Drill size for M10 × 1.5 cutting tap = 10-1.5 = 8.5 mm

The component

When the hole is analyzed, have a look at the workpiece material, component shape and quantity.

  • Machinability?
  • Material hardness?
  • Alloy elements?

The machine

The machine influences:

  • The type of operation
  • Which type of tool holders and/or collets to use

Always consider:

  • Machine stability
  • Spindle speed
  • Coolant volume and concentration
  • Workpiece clamping
