Threading tap KWB 443304 High-Speed Steel 45 mm Grey

The KWB 443304 threading tap is made from high-speed steel (HSS) and has an overall length of 45 mm with a working length of 13 mm. Supplied as a 3-piece set with taper, second and plug taps, it is intended for forming internal threads in various materials and can be used by hand with tap wrenches and tool holders.

Advantages

The HSS material provides good hardness and wear resistance for repeated threading operations. The set of taper, second and plug taps covers the full threading sequence for reliable thread formation. Ground threads deliver precise, smooth cutting action and improved thread accuracy. The compact 45 mm length and hand-use compatibility allow operation with common tap wrenches and tool holders.

Suitable for

• Creating internal threads in metal and non-ferrous materials
• Manual threading with tap wrenches
• Use with tool holders in bench or portable setups

How to use

Select the correct tap from the set (taper → second → plug) according to the hole size and threading sequence. Secure the workpiece, align the tap perpendicular to the hole, and start by hand using a tap wrench or suitable tool holder. Apply cutting fluid if appropriate for the material, advance the tap with steady forward strokes and back off periodically to break chips. Complete the sequence with the plug tap to finish the thread to size.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting lubricant for the work material, ensure correct hole diameter before tapping, and operate the taps by hand at moderate speed to avoid breakage. Inspect taps for wear and replace if cutting performance declines.
