The new TC130 Supreme tap from Walter, specifically for blind hole machining, has been designed for application areas including interference contours, deep threads, large batch sizes and series product.
The new tool from Walter Tools AG is made from high thread quality which improves tool life. Straight grooves produce short chips, resulting in high process reliability. In turn, the special geometry of the taps means the high surface quality of the threads, and therefore the usability of the tools, is maintained for long periods. The last thread in the chamfer section of the tools is designed to ‘finish’ the thread, resulting in good thread surface.
Walter is offering the TC130 Supreme for thread depths up to 3.5 times diameter nominal. A product range is offered for large thread sizes, including M4 – M42 (metric), M10 × 1 – M33 × 2 (metric fine) and UNC ¼ – UNC 1. The tools TiN coating (WY80AA) and the HiPIMS coating (WY80EH) improve the wear resistance and thread quality. The HSS-E taps featuring axial internal coolant have a tolerance of 6HX.
