We offer a variety of tools suited to different components, thread profiles and pitches, for both external and internal threads.
Dies and taps are the most common threading tools. Both the tools that are dies and taps are used for creating screw threads on the work-piece. A tap is used for cutting of the female segment of a mating pair (nut) whereas a die is used for cutting of the male segment (bolt) of the mating pair.
Taps and dies are tools used to create screw threads, which is called threading. Many are cutting tools; others are forming tools. A tap is used to cut or form the female portion of the mating pair (e.g. a nut).
