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

Norseman Drill & Tool Type 29-AGN Fractional Reduced Neck Spiral Point Taps

Titanium Nitride Performance for Demanding Threading Applications

The Norseman Drill & Tool Type 29-AGN Fractional HSS Reduced Neck Spiral Point Tap is engineered for high-performance threading where durability, accuracy, and efficiency are critical. Designed for fractional thread sizes, this premium tap combines advanced tool geometry with a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating to deliver extended tool life, smoother cutting action, and consistent thread quality in production and maintenance environments.

Reduced Neck Geometry for Lower Torque

Cooler Operation and Improved Tool Control

The high-performance reduced neck design minimizes friction between the tap body and the workpiece, allowing for freer cutting and reduced torque requirements. This geometry helps the tap run cooler, improves concentricity, and lowers the risk of tap breakage—especially in high-speed or automated machining operations. The result is reliable performance with greater process stability.

Spiral Point Design for Efficient Chip Evacuation

Ideal for Through-Hole Tapping

Featuring a spiral point (gun tap) configuration, the Type 29-AGN pushes chips forward and out of the hole during threading. This prevents chip packing, reduces re-cutting, and produces cleaner, more accurate threads. Spiral point taps are especially effective for through-hole applications, making them a preferred choice in CNC machining, production lines, and repetitive tapping operations.

Titanium Nitride Coating for Extended Tool Life

Increased Hardness and Exceptional Lubricity

The Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating significantly increases surface hardness while providing exceptional lubricity. This combination reduces friction, resists wear, and allows the tap to maintain sharp cutting edges far longer than uncoated tools. TiN coating is highly effective in materials such as carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and other difficult-to-machine metals.

High-Speed Steel Construction

Strength and Versatility in Fractional Sizes

Manufactured from premium High-Speed Steel (HSS), Norseman Type 29-AGN taps deliver the toughness and flexibility required for demanding applications across fabrication, automotive, industrial maintenance, and general manufacturing.
