03D041 - Walter M4 x 0.7 HSS Taper Tap for Precision Threading

Premium Industrial Threading with Walter HSS Taps

The Walter 03D041 4.0mm Taper HSS Tap is a high-performance cutting tool designed for professional machinists, fabricators, and maintenance personnel who demand precision and durability. Manufactured from top-tier High-Speed Steel (HSS), this tap is engineered to withstand the high temperatures and mechanical stresses generated during the metal threading process. Unlike standard carbon steel taps, Walter's HSS composition ensures the cutting edges remain sharp over a significantly longer service life, providing consistent thread quality from the first hole to the last.

This specific model features a "Taper" chamfer style, characterized by a gradual taper over the first 7 to 10 threads. This design is critical for manual threading operations as it distributes the cutting load across more teeth and helps the user align the tap perpendicular to the workpiece surface effortlessly. It is the preferred choice for starting new threads in difficult materials or when precision alignment is paramount. The precision-ground threads reduce friction and torque requirements, allowing for smoother cutting action and cleaner finished threads.

Versatility is a core strength of the Walter 03D041. It is capable of cutting threads in a wide variety of materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals like aluminum. Whether used for creating new internal threads in a fabrication project or cleaning up damaged threads during equipment repair, this tool delivers reliable performance. Its robust construction minimizes the risk of breakage, a common issue with inferior taps, ensuring that your production or repair schedule remains uninterrupted.

In industrial MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) settings, having reliable cutting tools is essential. The Walter 4.0mm Taper Tap integrates seamlessly into any professional tool set, offering the quality assurance associated with the Walter Surface Technologies brand. It is an indispensable tool for workshops dealing with metric fasteners and assembly tasks.
