Wire Insert Hand Taps |
|
Parallel fluted hand taps are the most commonly used type
of wire insert tap. The term 'hand tap' was originally
applied to this type as they were only suitable for hand
tapping. However, modern WTI hand taps, due to much
improved manufacturing techniques, are also suitable for
machine tapping.

Wire Insert Machine Taps |
|
WTI manufacture two types of Wire Insert Machine Taps, the
Spiral Point Tap and the Spiral Flute Tap. WTI spiral
point taps have been designed primarily for the machine
tapping of through holes. WTI spiral flute taps have
helical flutes that are ground in the same direction as
the thread.

threads in aluminium, brass, magnesium, zinc and other
ductile metals.

Wire Insert Tapping Data |

The success of any tapping operation depends on many
factors and each of these factors presents a different
problem and in each way demands individual attention.
