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

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

Titanium Nitride Performance for Precision Metric Threading

The Norseman Drill & Tool Type 29-AGN Metric HSS Reduced Neck Spiral Point Tap is engineered for high-performance metric threading in demanding industrial environments. Designed with advanced tool geometry and a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating, this tap delivers exceptional wear resistance, smooth cutting action, and extended tool life when machining difficult materials.

Reduced Neck Geometry for High-Performance Tapping

Lower Torque, Cooler Operation, Better Control

The high-performance reduced neck design minimizes contact between the tap body and the workpiece, significantly reducing friction during the tapping process. This results in lower torque requirements, cooler running temperatures, and improved concentricity. Reduced neck taps are ideal for high-speed machining and automated operations where precision and reliability are critical.

Spiral Point Design for Efficient Chip Flow

Optimized for Through-Hole Applications

The spiral point (gun tap) geometry forces chips forward and out of the hole as threads are formed. This prevents chip packing, reduces the risk of tap breakage, and produces cleaner, more consistent threads. The Type 29-AGN is especially effective for through-hole tapping, making it a trusted solution in CNC machining, production manufacturing, and repetitive tapping applications.

Titanium Nitride Coating for Extended Tool Life

Increased Hardness and Exceptional Lubricity

Finished with a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating—often identified by its gold appearance—this tap features increased surface hardness and excellent lubricity. The TiN coating reduces friction, resists abrasive wear, and allows the cutting edges to remain sharp far longer than uncoated tools. This results in smoother threads, improved surface finish, and longer intervals between tool changes.

High-Speed Steel Construction for Metric Applications

Manufactured from premium High-Speed Steel (HSS), Norseman Type 29-AGN taps provide the toughness and versatility needed for threading stainless steel, alloy steel, carbon steel, and other challenging materials.
