Synchro Taps

YG just came out with a New Series of Synchro Taps and Synchro Holders we are very excited about for any production tapping application as they will allow you to run your tap 2X to 3X Faster than a Standard High Performance Cut or Form Tap! We are also finding that with the Better Runout and Flute Design/Back Relief a Synchro Tap will outperform other High Performance Taps in Rigid Tap Holders at Standard Speeds! The new Taps are Now Available in Kits that includes a Synchro Tap Holder, ER Tap Collet & 6 Synchro Taps! The Synchro Taps are offered in Cut or Form Taps from 4-40 to ¾” and M3-M20. Below are the Kits:

Here are the recommended Speeds/Feeds compared to a Standard High Performance Cut Tap:

Material	Hi Performance Cut Tap	Synchro Cut Tap	Synchro Form Tap
Low Carbon Steels (1018, A36, Etc.)	20-50	80-150	115-185
Alloy Steels (4140, 8620, Etc.)	20-40	70-130	100-165
Stainless Steels (303, 304, 316)	15-35	40-100	50-110
Stainless Steels (17-4PH), 15-5PH	10-25	35-60	50-75
Cast Iron	30-50	80-150
Aluminum Castings	30-75	80-200	185-230

The Synchro Taps are all manufactured from a Powdered Metal Substrate and have 5 features allowing you to run faster:

Short Threaded Body: A Shorter Thread Length reduces tool pressure, improves thread finish and minimizes bird nesting
Optimal Flute Design: New Flute Design evacuates the chip faster without wrapping to allow you to run faster
Increased Thread Relief: This makes the tap freer cutting and allows for the faster speeds
Tight Tolerance Shanks: The Reduced Runout of these tools allows you to run faster speeds as well
Form Tap Optimal Lobe to Size Ratio: More Lobes & Grooves for greater spindle Speed and long tool life
New PVD Coating with Higher Outer Hardness: The New Coating gives better wear resistance so you can run faster

To hit the Higher RPM recommend of a Synchro Tap you also need a Synchro Tap Holder (Pictured Below) to give you the better runout to run it at higher RPM. The Synchro Tap Holder is also available from YG in ER16, ER20, ER25, ER32 and ER40 Sizes and YG has put together Kits that includes a Synchro Tap Holder, ER Tap Collet & 6 Synchro Taps!
