Combination Machine Taps
Machine screw taps are specialized tools designed to cut internal threads in pre-drilled holes. These threads are standardized to accept machine screws, providing secure and reliable fastening solutions across a wide range of industries and applications.
Types of Machine Screw Threads
Machine screw taps usually create threads conforming to standards within the Unified Thread Standard (UTS) system. Some common types include:
UNC (Unified National Coarse): The most general-purpose thread, used in a broad range of materials.
UNF (Unified National Fine): Finer threads than UNC, providing stronger hold and greater resistance to vibration loosening in harder materials.
Numbered Threads (#0, #2, #4 etc.): Commonly used for smaller diameter machine screws in applications like electronics and precision instruments.
