WEXO’s UTOP Tap is an all-purpose tap series designed to simplify tool management and to excel in a wide variety of materials and applications.
Achieving trouble-free chip evacuation with a spiral tap in blind holes is particularly challenging and is a main cause of headaches for many manufacturers. To resolve this problem and to improve the ejection of chips, WEXO’s UTOP Tap spiral fluted series has adopted a variable helix flute design, which encourages stable chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. The helix angle changes from the chamfer, where chips are formed, to the flutes, where chips are evacuated. This unique geometry enables greater chip control that can help produce tightly compacted chips for easy ejection from the hole.
To accommodate a wide range of cutting conditions, vanadium HSS and TiN coating have been employed in this series to achieve excellent wear resistance and a unique price/performance ratio.
In addition, to enable high speed machining, the UTOP Tap series incorporates a unique cutting edge design that emphasizes sharpness.
Not only does the UTOP Tap series perform well in general steel, it also excels in difficult to machine materials such as stainless steel and mild steel, as well as various non-ferrous metals.
