Frequently Asked Questions
What is a WIDIA GTD thread forming tap used for?
A WIDIA GTD thread forming tap creates internal threads by displacing material rather than cutting it, producing stronger threads in ductile materials like aluminum, brass, and mild steel. It is ideal for applications requiring chip-free threading, such as automotive and general manufacturing.
What are the specifications of the WIDIA GTD #12-24 UNC thread forming tap?
This WIDIA GTD tap is #12-24 UNC, with an H4 / 3B tolerance class and a bottoming chamfer for threading to the bottom of blind holes. It is made from high-speed steel (HSS) and carries manufacturer part number 17238. The H4 fit ensures precise thread engagement.

How to select the right thread forming tap for a job?
