Kennametal Solid Carbide Taps Last Longer and Tap Faster

Kennametal delivers advanced materials, surface technologies, and material shaping expertise to customers seeking peak performance in demanding environments.

In aluminum, Kennametal solid carbide taps can be run at up to 2X normal tapping speeds and achieve 4X longer tool life due to the carbide grade, patented tool design and proprietary coating. 4X longer tool life means we had to make 75% fewer taps to get the same job done. This will save you money and the environment. This tap‟s performance can reduce part-tapping costs by as much as 50%, producing extraordinary savings! Not only will you save money think of all the energy you will save by getting twice the holes tapped in the same amount of time!

This video contrasts Kennametal's Taps in 4340 Steel. After 30 seconds it taps 36 holes where the competition only manages 12.

...dependent upon CNC programmed speeds and feeds. Plus, you used internal cooling on one and not the other.

This seems pretty misleading.

The HSS tap doesn't have internal coolant holes.

Understandable, but why would you compare the two, then?

Unless I'm completely mistaken here. You're showing yours versus the competitor, right?

Why not show your cooled tap versus a competitor's cooled tap?

Great video, regardless. My company would be more than fortunate to have something like that in our CNC mill. Bravo.
