Miniature Taps

Plugging Away At Providing The Best Value For Miniature Taps.


Unfortunately, due to recent fluctuations in the market we cannot guarantee inventory on all taps that are listed.  Please bear with us as we and our suppliers work through this inconvenience.

Tabco carries a wide variety of Miniature Taps including basic plug taps, bottoming taps, spiral fluted plugs, and roll form plugs. All of Tabco's miniature taps are made of special high speed steel for strength and durability.  Additionally, Tabco offers the option of a Titanium Nitride coating (TiN).  This coating prolongs life of miniature taps by assisting lubrication and reducing tool wear. Putting a Titanium Nitride coating on miniature taps is helpful for most materials, especially stainless steel however it is not recommended for tapping titanium.

Select The Best Tap For Your Application

Basic Plug Our strongest tap, this three flueted plug excels in tapping both blind and through holes.  Ideally suited for tapping into steel, stainless steel, and harder materials.
Bottoming With a short lead, the bottoming tap begins tapping quickly, making it the best choice for a short tapping length to the bottom of blind holes.  Versatile for use with both soft and hard materials.
Spiral Fluted Plug Two spiral flutes channel chips away from the cutting edges while tapping into blind or through holes.  Suitable for softer materials such as brass and copper.
Roll Form Plug Creating the thread by pushing and forming the material rather than cutting, the roll form plug produces no burrs.  Ideal for softer materials like aluminum, copper, brass, and 303 & 316 series stainless steel.

Choose The Coating :  Standard or Titanium Nitride

All Tabco taps are made of special high speed steel for strength and durability.  Additionally, Tabco offers the option of a Titanium Nitride coating (TiN).  This coating prolongs life by assisting lubrication and reducing tool wear.  Helpful for most materials, especially stainless steel.  It is not recommended for tapping titanium.
Tabco Tip!
If you are unsure of which tap to use, Tabco suggests purchasing the
Basic Plug tap with Titanium Nitride coating.  This tap works well for many applications and will give the best performance.

Drill size is selected based on the number of tap diameters of the length to be tapped.  For example:  Tap M1.0 (0.093") x 0.050" deep = 1.27 tap diameters.  The recommended drill selected should cut a hole of 0.0309" to 0.0327" in diameter. 

Note:
  to convert inch drill size to millimeters, multiply size times 25.4.
