Dolphin BSW Type M-35 HSS Taps (Set of 3)

The Dolphin BSW Type M-35 HSS Taps (Set of 3) are high-performance taps designed for cutting internal threads according to the British Standard Whitworth (BSW) thread standard. Crafted from M-35 high-speed steel (HSS), these taps offer exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and heat resistance, making them ideal for threading operations in tough materials such as stainless steel, alloy steels, and other high-strength alloys.

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

1. British Standard Whitworth (BSW) Threads: The taps are specifically designed to cut threads conforming to the BSW standard, which is commonly used in the United Kingdom and other countries following British engineering standards.

2. M-35 High-Speed Steel Construction: The use of M-35 HSS provides superior durability and longevity, allowing the taps to withstand the demands of threading operations in tough materials without compromising performance.

3. Three-Tap Set: The set typically includes three taps: a taper tap (also known as a "first" tap), an intermediate tap, and a bottoming tap. This three-tap approach is used to progressively cut threads, starting with the taper tap and advancing to the bottoming tap to reach full thread depth.

4. Precision Thread Design: The taps feature precise thread profiles that conform to BSW standards, ensuring compatibility with BSW nuts, bolts, and fittings.

5. Efficient Chip Evacuation: The taps are designed with optimized flute geometry to facilitate chip removal during threading, reducing the risk of chip buildup and ensuring smooth cutting of threads.

6. Versatility: The Dolphin BSW Type M-35 HSS Taps are suitable for use in manual or machine threading operations, making them versatile tools for various applications in manufacturing, construction, and repair work.

7. Usage Recommendations: It is recommended to use cutting fluids or lubricants during tapping to optimize performance, reduce friction, and extend the lifespan of the taps. Proper lubrication helps maintain thread quality and prevents overheating during threading operations.

In summary, the Dolphin BSW Type M-35 HSS Taps (Set of 3) are premium-quality taps designed for professionals and enthusiasts working with BSW threads in tough materials. Their M-35 HSS construction, precision design, and efficient chip evacuation make them essential tools for achieving accurate and durable threads in a wide range of applications following British engineering standards.
