West Boylston, Massachusetts – Emuge Corp. is expanding its MultiTAP line of high-performance taps designed to cut materials including carbon steel, steel alloys, stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, copper, brass, and bronze. With 87 new SKUs, the MultiTAP line offers regular and extended-length spiral point and spiral flute taps, as well as roll form taps.
MultiTAP’s geometric design, special base material, and surface treatment allow it to cut a wide range of materials and applications without needing to stock numerous tap types. MultiTAP produces threads within 2B and 3B classes of fit, removing guesswork from choosing the correct H-limits.
MultiTAP is comprised of high-vanadium cobalt high-speed steel (HSS-E), nitrided with an Ne2 surface treatment or TiCN-coated for extended tool life. It is available in spiral point and spiral flute configurations for through-or blind-hole applications. Tap sizes cover a range for UNC or UNF threads, from #4-40 to 1" to 12" sizes, to metric sizes from M4 x 0.7 to M24 x 3.0.
