Additional Tap Features

Stronger Taps

The absence of cutting material due to the use of forming taps eliminates chip residue, and thus, the absence of chips eliminates the need for flutes, resulting in a solid, stronger tap for your application.

Longer Tap Life

Jarvis’ industry-leading forming taps last 3 to 20 times longer than cutting taps because they have no cutting edge to dull. This leads to cost savings and greater returns, which in the end equals a stronger hold and a bolstered bottom line. Both are sound business practices.

Stronger Threads

The grain flow of formed threads – as a result of form tapping – follows the contour of the thread resulting in greater thread strength.

Better Thread Gaging

Forming taps rearranges the metal in the hole to create the thread. Because no metal is cut away, the possibility of producing oversized threads is greatly reduced.

PRICING

Beyond Price: The True Cost of Low-Quality Taps

On the surface, shopping for the lowest-priced cutting tools makes sense… but in reality, the cons (and total cost) outweigh the initial ‘price’ savings. It can be tempting to save a little upfront by buying a low-cost tap, but a high-performance (or ‘special’) tap offers a much larger potential for cost savings.

Premature tap failure causes additional machine downtime, risks to the operator’s safety, component quality issues, increased scrap, and higher energy consumption.

If your factory is focused on maximizing productivity and achieving consistently high part quality, it would be counter-productive to buy cheap taps. Spending a bit more for your cutting tools typically yields a significant return on investment.

Basing tool purchasing decisions on price alone is short-sighted.

Consider the following example:

Tire (A) is $50/ea and gets an average of 20,000 miles, with a recommended driving speed of 50mph.

Tire (B) is $100/ea and gets an average of 65,000 miles, with a recommended driving speed of 65mph.

Now imagine that you have 10 cars in your fleet and they drive 24/hrs a day all 365 days per year.

When all factors are considered, the lower priced tire would have a significantly higher long-term total cost.

The same is true for TAPS

The highest quality cutting tool is of the utmost importance, followed closely by availability and delivery. What good is a great tap if you can’t get it consistently? This is what sets our US-based company apart from our competitors. When companies manufacture offshore, delivery issues are commonplace.

Jarvis offers customers the technical support needed to help troubleshoot problems and improve their machining processes to achieve optimum tool life. We are all about helping our customers make more money. With Jarvis taps, you can be sure that it is custom designed to increase your efficiency and profitability.

Not all taps are created equal. Cheaper tools don’t use the highest quality steel available or the best coating technology, leaving them prone to failure, wear and damage. Whatever the application, a high-performance tap will consistently deliver better surface finish, higher productivity, a more stable process and longer tool life.
