Balax Thredfloer Forming Taps are ideal for applications involving aluminum, brass, copper, lead, stainless steel, carbon steel, cast steel, leaded steel and zinc. In general, any material, which produces a stringy chip, is a good Thredfloer candidate. Balax's thread forming process offers several advantages over thread cutting, including:
Balax Thredfloer Forming Taps are ground on special, patented thread grinders featuring lead form geometry correction. This process produces forming taps whose lead threads are on pitch, resulting in reduced tapping torque. Thredfloer Forming Taps are available in ANSI, DIN and JIS sizes with plug, bottom, or one thread lead chamfers. Specialty Thredfloers are available in miniature, extension, STI and straight and tapered pipe versions.
Balax Thredshaver Cutting Taps are the ideal solution for applications which are unsuited for thread forming. Balax Thredshavers are manufactured using CNC grinding equipment and statistical process quality control procedures to assure consistent, lot-to-lot accuracy. Standard features include:
Thredshavers are available in a wide range of sizes and styles for tapping low-, medium-, and high-carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium, nickel alloys, aluminum alloys, cast aluminum, magnesium, brass, copper, cast iron, and tool steels.

SPECIALTY TAPS: For use in ductile materials, Balax Thredlock Taps are the ideal way to prevent loosening of fasteners that are subjected to vibration or thermal expansion. They are available for both blind and thru hole applications, and the taped holes are compatible with standard, off-the-shelf fasteners.
Balax, Inc. has long been recognized as a pioneer and world leader in the manufacture of thread forming taps. With the addition of our high performance cutting taps and ground thread gages, Balax now has the capability to help you with any tapping or internal threading application you may have. Additionally, our Roughing End Mills feature a precise, production-proven cutting edge geometry for high metal removal and fast feed rates. Be sure to check out our new, patented Thredlock Forming Taps, which create a unique locking thread that grips fasteners tightly.
