High Speed Ground Thread Taps

The taps in this catalog are all made by Threadwell of the finest high speed steel available. They are heat treated under controlled conditions and with the latest techniques. The result is the finest line of ground thread taps to be found on the market. And every tap has a built-in resistance to heat and abrasion. On occasion, however, some of our customers have an unusual application which requires a special surface treatment of the tap. To give our customers the kind of service they have come to expect, Threadwell can provide a variety of surface treatments
