Versatile Set for Thread CuttingExperience unmatched versatility with the BJT 267 Hand Tap set. Covering taper, intermediate (plug), and bottoming applications, it is suitable for a broad array of internal thread-making needs. Whether you work with steel, cast iron, or non-ferrous metals, these precision ground taps ensure accurate results.
High-Speed Steel ReliabilityManufactured from quality high-speed steel (HSS), these taps are built to withstand frequent use in demanding environments. The combination of bright and oxide finishes enhances longevity and provides reliable wear resistance even during prolonged manual operations.
Ease of Use and StorageDesigned for manual operation, the lightweight BJT 267 Hand Taps offer convenient handling without the need for external power. Each set comes neatly organized in a protective case, making it easy to store and transport while safeguarding the tools from damage.
FAQs of BJT 267- Hand Taps:
Q: How should I use the BJT 267 Hand Taps for creating internal threads manually?
A: Begin by selecting the appropriate tap (Taper, Intermediate/Plug, or Bottoming) based on your threading depth requirements. Secure the workpiece, align the tap straight, and use a tap wrench to turn the tap slowly while applying light pressure. For best results, start with the Taper tap, then progress to Intermediate (Plug) and finish with the Bottoming tap.
Q: What materials are the BJT 267 Hand Taps suitable for?
A: These hand taps are engineered for use with steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and plastics. The high-speed steel construction ensures efficient thread cutting across various materials, maintaining precision and tool longevity.
Q: When should I use each tap type from the set?
A: Use the Taper tap first to start the threading process, as it has a gentle lead-in and is easy to align. Follow with the Intermediate (Plug) tap to deepen and refine the thread, and finish with the Bottoming tap if you require threads closer to the bottom of a blind hole.
Q: Where can the BJT 267 Hand Taps be applied?
A: These taps are versatile tools suitable for manual threading operations in workshops, manufacturing facilities, repair shops, and even on-site tasks, making them invaluable to machinists, maintenance personnel, and hobbyists alike.
Q: What is the benefit of precision ground and wear-resistant surfaces in these hand taps?
A: Precision ground surfaces guarantee accurate thread profiles and smooth operation with minimal friction. The wear-resistant bright or oxide finishes extend tool life, reduce the likelihood of breakage, and help maintain consistent thread quality over time.
Q: How many taps are included in one BJT 267 Hand Tap set and what is their storage solution?
A: Each set contains three taps: Taper, Intermediate (Plug), and Bottoming. The taps are provided in a durable, protective case that keeps them organized, safe from damage, and easy to transport.
