Thread Check, Inc. highly recommends that a drawing with the thread information be supplied whenever possible. This will assist our engineering staff in providing the right cutting taps for the job and avoiding long delays and costly problems in manufacturing.
Critical information required to supply the correct cutting taps are as follows:
Any additional information concerning the type and condition of the machine or equipment being used can be helpful in manufacturing the best design of cutting taps for the job.
The major diameter and pitch diameter are two critical measurements on cutting taps. It is important to monitor the wear on these dimensions as they will eventually wear with prolonged use. Back taper, thread relief, and built up major diameter are three factors in the design of cutting taps, cutting dies, and cutting tools that should be taken into consideration when making measurements on the major diameter and pitch diameter of cutting taps, cutting dies, and cutting tools.
Back taper is a gradual decrease in the thread diameter towards the shank. This is usually about .001" in the diameter per one inch of length. Thread relief gradually decreases the thread diameter towards the heel of the land and as a rule covers about two thirds of the land width although in certain cases it may cover the entire width. The function of the back taper and thread relief is to provide easier cutting action and reduce friction. Measurements for size should always be taken across the full threads immediately behind the chamfer and as near the cutting face of the land as possible. Cutting taps, cutting dies, and cutting tools are always made larger than basic on the major diameter to allow for wear, and to provide major diameter clearance in the tapped hole.
A basic micrometer can be used to measure the major diameter of cutting taps. The micrometer anvil should contact the teeth at the cutting taps and cutting dies face. The pitch diameter can be measured by use of the Three Wire Method Thread Measuring System.
