TAPPING TECHNOLOGYHigh-performancethread tapping toolsBASS HSSE machine taps and roll formtaps are engineered and produced to thehighest quality standards in order to:• Reduce the cost per thread• Maximize the end-product quality• Optimize the tapping processYour PLUS1 HSSE taps (High Speed Cobalt Steel):superior temperature performance andproductivity compared to standard HSS taps2 HSSE-PM offered as standard products3 HL coating available on all taps:optimal chip evacuation, even with MQL process4 Multi-purpose tools:can be used for various materials5 Specific solutions developed for Aerospace applications

Shorter processing time + Longer tool life = More cost-effective machining processCut faster with High-Speed Cobalt Steel (HSSE):• Keeps the tool material stable at higher temperaturesand increases wear resistance in comparison to HSS.• As a result, cut faster, longer, and avoid cutting edgebreakdown.Achieve longer tool life with:• HSSE-PM: superior quality powder metal high-speedcobalt steel with a hardness close to that of solidcarbide, extremely high wear resistance and hightoughness.• HL coating– Ensures optimal chip evacuation– Suitable for dry cutting, MQL process or emulsionwith low oil contentThe right tool for each applicationMild steelFree cutting steelblind holeDOMINANT VA45 HLAlloyed steel upto1,300 N/mm 2Stainless steelChipping problems / low VcvaporizingNo problems with chip/ high VcTiN coatedDepth blind holeHL-coatedCopper alloyed andnon-alloyedBrass (long chipping)Nickel non-alloyedthrough holeVARIANT VA HLBASS offers a complete selectionof HSSE and HSSE-PM machinetaps and roll form taps:• For through holes and blindholes• With axial or radial internalcoolant• With coatings optimized forall workpiece materials• For all thread types• In a wide range of inch andmetric sizesAerospace programBASS has developed tools with specific geometries (TiH and Ni) that provide reliable performance in uniquelychallenging materials commonly used in the aerospace industry.Titanium Alloys (>700 N/mm 2 ) andNickel Alloys (
