Dolphin M-35 NPT Type HSS Taps (Set of 2)

The Dolphin M-35 NPT Type HSS Taps (Set of 2) are premium-quality taps designed specifically for cutting internal threads according to the National Pipe Taper (NPT) standard. Crafted from M-35 high-speed steel (HSS), these taps are engineered to provide exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and heat resistance, making them ideal for threading operations in tough materials like stainless steel, alloy steels, and other high-strength alloys.

Key features and characteristics of the Dolphin M-35 NPT Type HSS Taps include:

1. High-Speed Steel (HSS) Construction: The use of M-35 HSS ensures superior durability and longevity of the taps, even under demanding threading conditions. The material's hardness and wear resistance allow for efficient cutting and extended tool life.

2. Precision Thread Design: The taps are designed with precise thread profiles that conform to NPT standards, ensuring compatibility with NPT fittings commonly used in plumbing, gas lines, and other pipe systems.

3. Two-Tap Set: The set typically includes two taps: a taper tap and a plug tap. The taper tap is used to start the thread gradually, while the plug tap follows to finish the thread to full depth. This two-tap approach helps achieve accurate and well-defined NPT threads.

4. Efficient Chip Evacuation: The taps feature optimized flute geometry for efficient chip removal during threading, reducing the risk of chip buildup and ensuring smooth cutting of threads.

5. Versatility: The Dolphin M-35 NPT Type HSS Taps are suitable for use in both manual and machine threading operations. They can be used with various materials, including stainless steel and high-strength alloys, where standard taps may struggle.

6. Usage Recommendations: It is recommended to use cutting fluids or lubricants during tapping to enhance performance and extend tool life. Proper lubrication helps reduce friction and heat generation, improving the quality of the threads and overall tapping efficiency.

Overall, the Dolphin M-35 NPT Type HSS Taps (Set of 2) are high-performance tools designed for professionals working in industries requiring precise and durable NPT threads. Their M-35 HSS construction, precision design, and efficient chip evacuation make them essential for achieving high-quality threads in challenging materials and applications.
