Engineered with a high-performance chip-breaking design, the new iteration of the tapping tool drastically reduces production interruptions and eliminates the need for manual chip removal. The result is a safer production environment and a more stable machining process with continuous, reliable output and minimal manual intervention.
Effective chip evacuation is critical, especially in blind holes. CoroTap® 100 with -PM geometry is optimised for internal coolant delivery, ensuring clean chip removal and a high-quality finish. For through holes, external coolant via collets or nozzles is recommended for optimal performance.
“By integrating precise chip management with high-quality threading, we’re helping manufacturers maintain steady production with minimal operator input,” says Cory Carpenter, Global Product & Digital Application Specialist at Sandvik Coromant. “The chip breaker chamfer may seem like a subtle feature, but its effect is substantial. Applying it to just two flutes allows for efficient chip separation while preserving the accuracy and finish of the thread.”
“Coolant isn’t just a support function, it’s crucial in precision threading,” adds Carpenter. “With the right flow, pressure, and concentration, we can prevent chip recutting and maintain a clean, efficient process.”
The CoroTap® 100 tap range is available in a comprehensive selection of geometries tailored for ISO P, K, N, and H materials. The assortment includes straight flute taps, spiral point taps, spiral flute taps, and forming taps — offering manufacturers the right solution for every threading challenge.
