About Dormer E0715/16NO6 General Purpose Hand Taps
The Dormer MTT E061/MTT E071 high-speed steel three-piece hand threading tap set (including taper, plug, and bottoming chamfers) has straight flutes, round shanks with square ends, and a gold oxide finish, and is used to create right-hand threads in a range of materials, with best performance in cast iron, aluminum, and magnesium. It is available in two different ANSI thread specification standards: UNC (Unified Coarse) or UNF (Unified Fine). The straight flutes are suitable for threading through holes (extending through the workpiece) and blind or bottoming holes (with only one opening). Gold oxide is a low-temperature heat treatment that reduces grinding stress within the tool. In this series all sizes below a nominal diameter of 1” have the gold oxide finish; sizes 1” and larger have an uncoated (bright) finish. Right-hand threads are designed to tighten when the head or nut is rotated clockwise (the most common threading direction). High-speed steel (HSS) is a common general-purpose steel for cutting tools and is compatible with a variety of materials. With no coating or surface treatment, an uncoated tool can be used on a broad range of materials and provides an economical alternative to coated tools. The round shank with square end makes this tap suitable for hand or power-driven applications. This tool can be used in machines, such as drill presses or lathes, or with hand tools such as tap wrenches. In the Dormer MTT E061/MTT E071 series, taps that are machine-screw size 6 have three flutes and all other sizes have four flutes. This tap set conforms to ANSI standards. A tap from this series can create threads to a depth 1 ½ times its diameter. It is suitable for ANSI 2B and 3B tolerance classes: 2B is an average quality fit for commercial and industrial fasteners; 3B produces close-tolerance fasteners that resist loosening, as in aerospace applications. Taps produce internal threads in previously formed holes and can be used in mac
