YG-1 Expands Prime Tap Lineup with New Forming Tap Series

Prime Tap Forming Series Introduced for Chip-Free Threading in Ductile Materials

  YG-1 has expanded its Prime Tap product line by introducing the new Prime Tap Forming series, tailored to meet the evolving demands of threading applications.

This latest addition strengthens the Prime Tap brand by enhancing its high-performance machining solutions and enabling optimized threading for a broader range

of machining environments.

The Prime Tap Forming series is engineered to deliver superior thread quality, durability, and productivity.

Unlike traditional cutting taps, forming taps do not require material removal, eliminating chip generation.

This feature minimizes machining interruptions and reduces downtime. Additionally, the absence of material

removal significantly decreases tool wear, providing a longer tool life compared to conventional cutting taps.

Threads produced using the forming process result in consistent pitch diameter from start to finish with an

excellent thread finish since no material chips are created.

Designed for ductile materials such as carbon and alloy steels, ductile irons, aluminum, and stainless steel,

Prime Tap Forming excels in challenging machining environments where chip removal is difficult. Its high-speed

machining capability and exceptional wear resistance contribute to reduced tool change frequency and enhanced

productivity. Furthermore, the inclusion of a DIN standard improves accessibility, making it ideal for deep-threading

operations or hard-to-reach holes.

With the launch of the Prime Tap Forming series, YG-1 is poised to meet a wider range of customer needs while providing

high-performance machining solutions optimized for the rapidly changing industrial landscape.

The Prime Tap Forming series is available in the American and European markets.
