JIS B 0201 Japanese Thread
The FT117 is a professional-grade spiral flute tap specifically designed for high-efficiency tapping of JIS B 0201 standard Japanese threads. Its excellent chip removal performance, high hardness and wear resistance, and machining efficiency make it particularly suitable for threading high-strength and difficult-to-machine materials. Carbide straight flute taps are high-performance tapping tools combining carbide material and composite coating technology. They are widely used in high-efficiency, high-precision thread machining, especially showing significant advantages in scenarios involving difficult-to-machine materials and high-strength workpieces. They perform exceptionally well in high-efficiency machining and complex materials. Carbide taps can easily machine difficult-to-machine materials such as stainless steel, titanium alloys, and nickel-based alloys, maintaining high efficiency and high quality.

Design details engineered for accuracy, tool life and process stability.
Grinded using a high-precision thread grinder, the thread profile accuracy is controlled within ±0.01mm, and the thread surface finish can reach below Ra0.4μm, ensuring the accuracy of Japanese standard thread connections.
Ultra-fine grain carbide substrate with a hardness of HRC65, offering 50% improved resistance to chipping, suitable for tapping difficult-to-machine materials such as stainless steel and high-hardness steel.
Coatings such as TiAlN, TiCN, TAD, TiN, and DLC are available, with coating hardness up to HV3400, a friction coefficient as low as 0.15, and tool life extended by 2-3 times compared to uncoated taps.
Carbide straight flute taps hold a vital position in modern manufacturing due to their advantages such as high-quality thread formation, enhanced strength, long tool life, and chip-free machining. They are particularly advantageous in scenarios requiring high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and high precision machining.
Straight flute taps typically feature higher manufacturing precision to ensure tight tolerances and thread quality even at minute dimensions.
Carbide taps can easily machine difficult-to-machine materials such as stainless steel, titanium alloys, and nickel-based alloys, maintaining high efficiency and quality.
The high rigidity of carbide materials and the auxiliary cooling technology of internal cooling technology reduce the risk of tap breakage due to thermal fatigue or chip clogging.
Optimized cutting edge sharpness and an internal cooling system provide excellent lubrication and cooling conditions, ensuring a burr-free thread surface and high smoothness.
Straight flute metric thread taps are suitable for the following applications.
Machining threads on high-strength materials such as titanium alloys and nickel-based alloys.
Suitable for efficient thread machining of high-strength steel parts.
Suitable for thread forming of hard mold materials.
Suitable for machining precision parts made of stainless steel and high-temperature alloys.
