Description
Recoil taps differ from standard taps dimensionally and only Recoil Screw Thread Insert (STI) Taps are suitable for use with Recoil Wire
Thread Inserts.
Recoil taps are manufactured to precise standards from High Speed Steel (HSS) with ground threads.
They have a larger diameter but the same pitch as a standard tap in order to accommodate the wire insert.
Spiral Flute taps are recommended for machine tapping for all
blind hole applications, particularly in soft materials such as copper,
magnesium and aluminium which produce long stringy swarf and for volume production purposes.
