Met-Flo Forming Taps
Regal’s Met-Flo thread forming taps utilize pressure displacement technology as an alternative to methods which involve the cutting of material. This process eliminates the possibility of the loosening and weakening of threads that occurs when using an ordinary tap or die. Our Met-Flo forming taps also provide a solution to problems such as those experienced during chip removal. Instead of cutting the chips, our thread forming taps push or form the metal to its desired state. In order to maximize the feature of stability offered in thread forming tap methods, drill adjustment is required according to the nature of the job. More information on identifying the right drill size can be found on our product options & sizes chart.
