DORMER 1/2-13 H5 SP FLUTE BLUE SHARK TAP

FOR STAINLESS STEELS

Designed for superior performance blind hole tapping in a wide range of Stainless Steel types.

MATERIAL:
Shark taps are manufactured from a unique powder metallurgy tool steel different from any other HSS-E-PM. This provides an unbeatable combination of toughness and edge strength, allowing the taps to perform at higher cutting temperatures while offering excellent performance and longer tool life.

• Higher impact toughness
• Increased hot hardness
• Consistent hardness

GEOMETRY AND CHAMFER
Thread geometry with optimized form generates:

• Low torque
• Excellent threads at both high and low speeds
• Superior surface finish

SURFACE TREATMENT
Super-B is a low friction TiAlN+WC/C self lubricating hard coating which prevents built-up edge and provides very high wear resistance. This is particularly advantageous when threading tough, long-chipping, heat resistant materials such as stainless steel.

FEATURES:

• The color ring on the tool shank identifies suitability for specific materials and enables quick and easy tool selection.
• Significant reduction in axial forces and torque compared to conventional taps. This ensures problem-free threading of blind and through holes in the selected material.
• Standard ANSI shank and square with DIN overall length, for extra reach and compatibility with Inch Standard Tap Holding.
• Spiral flute taps incorporate a special edge treatment to increase strength and reduce the chance of micro-chipping on the cutting edges. This considerably improves performance and tool life.
• The back taper on spiral flute Blue Shark facilitates chip evacuation, reducing chipping on the last threads of the taps and also reducing torque when the tap reverses.
