Norseman Drill & Tool Type 29-AG Metric HSS Gold Oxide High Performance Reduced Neck Spiral Point Taps

Norseman Drill & Tool Type 29-AG Metric HSS Reduced Neck Spiral Point Taps

Gold Oxide Performance for Precision Metric Threading

The Norseman Drill & Tool Type 29-AG Metric HSS Gold Oxide High Performance Reduced Neck Spiral Point Tap is engineered for accuracy, durability, and efficiency in demanding metric threading applications. Designed for professional machinists and production environments, this premium tap delivers consistent thread quality, reduced cutting torque, and extended tool life across a wide range of materials.

Reduced Neck Design for Lower Torque

Cooler Operation and Improved Control

The reduced neck geometry minimizes contact between the tap body and the workpiece, significantly reducing friction during the cutting process. This design allows the tap to run cooler, improves stability, and lowers the risk of tap breakage—especially in higher-speed or automated machining operations. The result is straighter threads, improved accuracy, and reliable repeatability in metric applications.

Spiral Point Geometry for Efficient Chip Control

Ideal for Through-Hole Tapping

Featuring a spiral point (gun tap) design, the Type 29-AG pushes chips forward and out of the hole, preventing chip packing and re-cutting. This makes it an excellent choice for through-hole tapping, where clean chip evacuation is essential for maintaining thread quality and protecting the cutting edges.

Gold Oxide Finish for Enhanced Lubricity

Increased Toughness and Wear Resistance

The Gold Oxide surface treatment provides low-temperature stress relief that enhances lubricity and reduces cutting friction. This finish improves tap toughness, minimizes edge wear, and promotes smoother cutting action. Compared to uncoated taps, Gold Oxide taps offer longer service life and more consistent performance in continuous-use environments.

High-Speed Steel Construction for Versatility

Built for Metric Production and Maintenance

Manufactured from premium High-Speed Steel (HSS), these metric spiral point taps perform reliably in carbon steel, alloy steel, cast iron, and select non-ferrous materials. They are ideal for CNC machining, production runs, and general maintenance work.
