One Tap: Plenty of Types (of Materials)

If you’re producing parts made of various types of materials and need to have holes tapped, chances are you need to stock several tools to handle the different requirements. However, Emuge Corp. (emuge.com) has developed the MultiTAP, which it claims to be the “first high-performance” tap that is capable of cutting materials including carbon steel, steel alloys, stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, copper, brass, and bronze. One tap.  All of those metals. It can cut both 2B- and 3B-class threads. Available in spiral point and spiral flute configurations, for through- or blind-hole apps.
