PROTOTYP from Walter USA, Inc., is offering a new range of HSS-Cobalt Powered Metal tools for rigid tapping. With various improvements to the geometry and coating, the Synchrospeed tool delivers increased tool life and more consistent results.
The tool's rigid tapping is completely guided by the CNC machine. By reducing the guide portion of the tool, less friction is created, lower cutting edge temperatures are reached, and greater speeds are possible.
Another advantage of the Synchrospeed is its ability to be used across a very broad material spectrum, resulting in a reduced number of tools and toolholders needed.
According to Walter USA, the special TIN coating of the blind hole taps guarantees a reliable production process. When machining soft materials, an optimal tool is achieved, even at greater thread depths.
All Synchrospeed taps with the high-quality THL coating are perfectly suited for applications in stainless steel.
