Thread Cutting Taps
Used for professional production lines with high reliability requirements;
Universal taps; Suitable for various materials such as low carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel;
Through hole, blind hole threading;
Specification: M3～M36.
Thread Cutting Taps (also called a Form Tap or Roll Tap) is a chipless tapping tool that creates threads through cold forming rather than cutting. It displaces material to form threads, resulting in:No chips – Eliminates chip evacuation issues.Stronger threads – Work-hardening improves thread durability.Smooth finish – Produces precise, burr-free threads.

the Advantages of Thread Cutting Taps
No Flutes
Unlike cutting taps, forming taps have smooth, rounded lobes that deform material.
01
High Torque Requirement
Requires 30–50% more torque than cutting taps due to material displacement.
02
Material Compatibility
Best for ductile metals (Aluminum, Copper, Low-Carbon Steel, Plastics).
03
Thread Strength
Forms compressed threads with higher fatigue resistance.
04
Extended Tool Life
No cutting edges to wear out, just gradual lobe polishing.hardened steel.
05
Applicable industry
1. Power generation industry (turbine, boiler, etc.).
2. Mould industry: coolant hole.
3. Auto industry: shaft, piston pin, cylinder block, etc.
4. Aerospace industry: landing gear, gas turbine shaft.
5. Steelmaking industry: billet.
6. Injection molding machine, chemical engineering and other industries.
Thread Cutting Taps's FAQ
Q: 1. What is a thread cutting tap?
+
-
A: Cutting taps are tools that cut material and create chips. They make internal threads by removing material from the tapped hole.
Q: 2. What is the process of cutting thread using a tap called?
+
-
A: The process of cutting or forming threads using a tap is called tapping, whereas the process using a die is called threading.
Q: 3. What is the material of thread cutting taps?
+
-
A: High-speed steel (HSS) has remained a popular tap material for decades because it can maintain its integrity while threading, despite high temperatures and vibration. Various types of high-speed steel exist, but the main "ingredients" include high carbon tool steel, tungsten, chromium, vanadium, and iron.
Q: 4.Are you a factory or trading company?
+
-
A: Founded in 1994, we are a high-tech enterprise specializing in the integrated R&D and manufacturing of cutting tools. Equipped with advanced production facilities and proprietary core technologies, we maintain industry-leading technical capabilities.
Q: 5. Can I get a sample?
+
-
A: Samples can be supplied, with some small-value items available as free samples.
