    Cut Tap VS Form Tap

    Uploaded by

    This document discusses different types of taps used to cut or form screw threads. It describes form taps, which press into the material to form threads, resulting in a better surface finish but only working on ductile materials. Cut taps cut threads through chip removal, working on all materials but with a rougher surface. Form taps have a longer tool life while cut taps can evacuate chips better. Taps are further classified based on tolerance and profile to properly match the workpiece material and size.

    Tapping

    Cut Tap vs. Form Taps

    Thanika.K
    tapping
     Taps and dies are cutting tools used to create screw threads, which is
    called threading

     The process of cutting threads using a tap is called tapping, whereas


    the process using a die is called threading

     Joseph Clement was one such early vendor of taps and dies, starting in
    1828

     The largest tap and die company to exist in the United States was
    Greenfield Tap & Die, The GTD brand is now a part of Widia
    Products Group
    Classification :

    The classification of the taps can done as follow:


     Form A
     Form B

     Form C

     Form D

     Form E
    Tolerance Classes
    The taps can be further divided into two type:

    Cut taps
    Form taps
    FORM TAP
    The teeth's of the form tap press into the material
    The material starts to flow
    The material fills the gap between the Tap and the
    material
    The fishmouth is fully formed
    Pros and cons:
     No chips, therefore no problems with chip removal
     Better surface finish of the thread
     Higher cutting speed (approx. doubled)
     Increased tool life
     Brittle materials (i.e. grey cast iron) are not suitable
     Workpiece material must have a ductility coefficient
    of at least 10%
    Cut taps
    The cut taps can be described as cutting of the threads
    in a hole by chipping of the metals rather than
    forming
    The chip evacuation is a very important criteria
    Suitable for all type of material cast iron , aluminum
    etc
    The tolerances are the same as achieved by form taps
