BX4

 

The HSS Taps Series BX4 is a premium line of high-speed steel taps, engineered for optimal performance in diverse threading applications. These taps are suitable for use in a wide range of materials including aluminum, mild steel, and stainless steel, making them an excellent choice for industries such as automotive, aerospace, and general engineering.

Manufactured from superior high-speed steel, the Series BX4 taps offer exceptional wear resistance and durability, ensuring long-lasting sharpness even under continuous use. The taps are designed with both straight and spiral flutes, with the spiral flutes being particularly effective for removing chips in blind hole applications. This design feature helps to prevent clogging and reduces the risk of tap breakage, ensuring smooth and efficient threading operations.

The Series BX4 taps are available in an extensive range of sizes and pitch configurations to meet a variety of threading needs. This includes taper taps for starting threads, plug taps for versatile threading, and bottoming taps for threading to the bottom of blind holes. This comprehensive selection ensures that users have the right tool for every specific threading task.

To further enhance performance, especially when working with tougher materials, the Series BX4 taps can be coated with advanced coatings such as Titanium Nitride (TiN), Titanium Carbonitride (TiCN), or Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN). These coatings significantly reduce friction, increase surface hardness, and extend the life of the tap, resulting in improved thread quality and consistent performance.

The HSS Taps Series BX4 is a reliable and versatile choice for professionals seeking high-performance threading tools that can handle a wide range of materials and threading conditions with precision and efficiency.
