The Walter 03A052 5-40 NC Plug HSS Tap is a premium-grade threading tool designed for industrial professionals who demand accuracy and longevity. Manufactured from top-quality High-Speed Steel (HSS), this tap is engineered to withstand the high thermal and mechanical stresses associated with cutting threads in hard metals. Unlike standard carbon steel taps, Walter's HSS composition ensures that the cutting edges remain sharp longer, reducing the frequency of tool changes and ensuring consistent thread quality across multiple operations.
This specific tool features a "Plug" chamfer style, which typically has a tapered lead of 3 to 5 threads. This design makes it the most versatile choice for general purpose threading, particularly for through holes where the tap can pass completely through the workpiece. The precision ground threads are meticulously hardened and tempered, a process that relieves internal stresses in the metal and enhances toughness. This results in a tool that is less prone to snapping under torque, a common issue with inferior threading tools.
Whether you are machining new components or repairing damaged threads in maintenance applications, the Walter 5-40 NC tap delivers unparalleled cutting action. It is optimized for use on a wide range of materials, including aluminum, mild steel, and stainless steel. The superior finish of the tap reduces friction, allowing for smoother operation and cleaner threads that meet strict tolerance requirements. Trust Walter Surface Technologies for tooling that enhances productivity and delivers professional results every time.
