REGAL CUTTING TOOLS

Regal Cutting Tools Acme taps are manufactured with a 2G tolerance class. This class of fit provides a general-purpose thread suitable for most applications where a standard clearance is required. The 2G tolerance is commonly used in lead screws, jacks, and linear motion assemblies. It ensures compatibility with standard Acme threaded nuts and components. The taps are made from high-speed steel and feature a plug chamfer and 4 flutes for efficient chip evacuation. When selecting an Acme tap, consider the thread size, direction (right-hand or left-hand), and the specific tolerance required for your assembly.

The Regal Cutting Tools extension pipe tap is a 1/4"-18 NPTF tap with a plug chamfer and 4 flutes, made from high-speed steel. Its extended length allows threading in deep or restricted holes where a standard tap cannot reach. The NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) thread form is a dryseal thread that provides a seal without the need for sealant. This tap is identified by manufacturer part number 015913AS. It is suitable for cutting internal threads in pipe fittings and similar components. The plug chamfer design facilitates starting and chip flow. For other sizes or thread forms, consult the full Regal Cutting Tools catalog.

Yes, Regal Cutting Tools offers left-hand Acme taps in several sizes. These taps are designed for cutting internal ACME threads where a left-hand thread is required, such as in certain lead screw and actuator applications. They feature a 2G tolerance class, 4 flutes, and a plug chamfer, and are made from high-speed steel. Examples include part numbers 017616AS (1 1/4"-5), 017638AS (1"-5), and 017602AS (1/2"-10). Left-hand taps are used in assemblies where the thread direction must oppose the standard right-hand orientation. When ordering, specify the thread size, direction, and tolerance to ensure the correct tool for your application.

Regal Cutting Tools Acme taps are made from high-speed steel (HSS). HSS is a tool steel grade that maintains hardness at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for cutting operations where heat is generated. It provides a balance of wear resistance and toughness, allowing the taps to withstand the forces of threading. These taps are not coated unless specified. HSS is a common material for general-purpose taps and is compatible with a variety of materials, including steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. For specific material recommendations, refer to machining guidelines or consult a tooling specialist.
