North American Tool Coolant-Fed Special TapCoolant-Fed Taps
  • North American Tool Coolant-Fed Taps are an ideal tapping method for blind hole applications.
  • Allows optimal chip ejection through coolant-fed design.
  • Increased production through longer tool life and more tapped holes per tool,
    resulting in lower machining cost per part.
  • Taps cut cleaner and more accurately.
  • Tap life can be further extended through use of various surface treatments,
    depending on material of part being tapped.
