The advances being made in High Speed Steel (HSS) cutting tools show no signs of slowing down, with Dormer Pramet’s Shark Line taps clearly setting the pace. 

Dormer Pramet Shark Line Taps

 

The high wear resistance, hardness and toughness of HSS makes it the ideal material for cutting tools in mass production environments. Able to resist vibrations regardless of work-piece clamping conditions, HSS can also prevent mechanical shocks at tooth level in milling operations. Even varying lubrication conditions and thermal changes are no problem. 

Now two new designs from Dormer Pramet extend the capabilities of its Shark Line program of material-specific taps. 

Manufactured from a High Speed Cobalt Powder Metallurgy Steel (HSS-E-PM) substrate, these tough and stable taps offer superior grind-ability of structural, carbon and low alloy steels (Shark Line E412) and stainless steels (E414). Both new taps feature a 48°spiral flute angle for smooth, fast, chip evacuation, making them ideal for threading deep blind holes up to 3xD.
