The Seco Tap product line encompasses three available performance levels. Regardless of part material, you get the right tap for your machining application parameters. The combination of superior base materials, advanced coatings and special edge preparations mean that Seco Taps generate precision threads while they provide excellent chip evacuation, shorter setup times and longer tool life.

TAP INTO PART-PROCESSING FLEXIBILITY

Success in high-mix/low-volume production relies on flexibility in both processes and tooling, and the more you can do with a single tool, the better. Each individual Seco Tap for thread cutting and forming applies to a variety of materials and part types to reduce tooling inventory and costs.

Your challenge:

Part materials and types constantly change, which requires extensive inventories of thread cutting and forming taps.

The Seco solution:

Thread a variety of parts and materials with the same tap for versatility and cost-effectiveness.

STOP THREADING WITH THE WRONG TAPS

Some jobs call for high-end tools, but others need tooling that performs well and increases part processing versatility. Seco Taps for thread cutting and forming do just that. Made from cobalt high-speed steel base materials, these taps feature helix flutes, straight flutes and spiral points and double layer TiAlN/TiN coatings, as well as an advanced edge preparation process. All of that gives each tool universal application capability and maintains maximum machining parameters.

Your challenge:

Matching the right tap to the application at hand takes too much time and effort.

The Seco solution:

Quickly select the right tool for the job from the Seco range of thread cutting and forming taps that offers various performance levels for versatility and cost-effectiveness.

THREAD DEEPER AND LONGER WITH MAXIMUM CHIP CONTROL

Certain materials and deep holes can cause havoc in your threading operations. Maximize chip control with Seco Taps for threading cutting and forming that control chips and prevent tool breakage when threading hole depths up to 3 x D for uninterrupted part production.

Your challenge:

Poor chip control reduces tap life, causes tool breakage and hinders thread quality.

The Seco solution:

Seco taps for thread cutting and forming incorporate special geometries and internal coolant capability for exceptional chip control.
