Spiral Flute, Spiral Point Tap Series



OSG introduces a new spiral flute and spiral point tap series for nickel alloys.

OSG Tap & Die (OSG) introduces the new EXOPRO-WHR-Ni spiral flute and spiral point tap series, designed for nickel-based alloy applications.

Nickel-based heat resistant alloys are materials with extremely poor machinability. Short tool life, sudden tool wear, breakage and chipping at the chamfer are common problems associated with the machining of these materials. In order to accommodate new industry demand, OSG has developed a total solution for threading nickel alloys with the EXOPRO-WHR-Ni tap series. The EXOPRO-WHR-Ni spiral flute tap features a new point flute design to improve cutting edge rigidity, which helps prevent chipping and enables it to machine even in blind holes. The EXOPRO-WHR-Ni spiral point tap, designed for blind hole applications, features a unique rake angle to protect against sudden tool wear. With the addition of OSG's patented HR coating, tool life can be substantially prolonged.

In addition to the EXOPRO-WHR-Ni tap series, OSG also offers milling and drilling solutions for machining nickel alloys with the EXOPRO-AERO UVX-Ni end mill series and the EXOPRO-WHO-Ni 3D & 5D carbide drills series.
