CoroTap -XM from Sandvik Coromant simplifies tapping

CoroTap -XM is an easy-to-select range of taps from Sandvik Coromant aimed at machine shops faced with working in a multitude of materials and/or the need to switch almost constantly between medium and small batch sizes.

Providing a long and consistent tool life, the spiral flute design of CoroTap T300-XM secures a constant rake angle for continuous cutting processes. Furthermore, high spiral angles are said to ensure effective chip evacuation. The CoroTap T200-XM variant has a superior gun nose to help reduce torque and improve thread quality. For this reason, CoroTap -XM can be applied to both through-holes and blind holes to depths of up to 2.5xD. In terms of hardness, the taps are suitable for materials up to 350 HB. Three different grade options are available in CoroTap -XM to suit almost every material.
