Threading Tools

Uniform Machine Forming Taps

UniForm machine forming taps create internal threads via plastic deformation rather than material shearing, yielding a chipless operation. This cold-forming process preserves the material's grain flow and work-hardens the thread flanks, resulting in significantly elevated fatigue resistance and shear strength. Requiring higher operational torque and stringent lubrication, these lobed tools lack sharp cutting edges, greatly extending tool life. They are critical in high-volume automotive and aerospace production for threading ductile metals like aluminum, copper, and low-carbon steel.
