Blind hole tap for stainless steels

Waukesha, Wisconsin – The new high-end TC142 blind hole taps from Walter are precisely designed for machining stainless steels, ISO M materials. The taps also have a secondary application in ISO P materials, particularly in the softer steel which require more chip control. Tapping stainless using standard tools can often lead to tool breakage because of the material’s high level of toughness. The TC142 is designed to combat this failure mode. 

 

The TC142 comes in two versions: Grade WW60RB grade provides for long tool life and high cutting speeds thanks to its wear-resistant coating, suitable for high-volume production. The second version is grade WY80FC, with a vaporized surface for a high level of process reliability due to its excellent chip control.
