YG1 42 x 4.5 M HSS Tap (Spiral)

The HSS (High-Speed Steel) hand tap from YG1 is a tool used for creating internal threads in metal materials. Here’s a breakdown of its features:

1. Material (HSS): Made from high-speed steel, which offers good wear resistance, durability, and heat resistance, making it suitable for threading various metals, including steels, aluminum, and alloys.

2. Hand Tap: This type of tap is typically used manually (often with a tap wrench) for hand-tapping operations, allowing for controlled, precise threading. Hand taps are commonly used in general-purpose threading, maintenance, and repair.

3. Type & Design: YG1 taps often come in standard tap designs, which may include taper, plug, and bottoming taps for different stages of thread cutting. The specific cutting geometry of YG1 taps helps reduce torque, improves chip evacuation, and extends tool life.

4. Applications: This tap is useful in general-purpose metalworking applications, including automotive, industrial maintenance, and DIY repair work.
