Norseman Type 23-AG Taper Hand Taps
Precision Threading with Gold Oxide Finish
The Norseman Drill and Tool Type 23-AG Fractional Gold Oxide HSS Straight Flute Taper Hand Taps are engineered for clean, accurate internal threading in a wide range of materials. Designed with a tapered chamfer for gradual cutting engagement, these taps are ideal for starting threads in through holes or deeper blind holes.
Taper Lead for Smooth Thread Engagement
Ideal for Starting Threads
Featuring a 7–10 thread chamfer, taper hand taps gradually ease into the material, reducing cutting pressure and minimizing the chance of thread distortion. This design makes them a go-to solution for hand tapping and low-speed machine operations.
-
Optimal for through-hole threading
-
Excellent chip evacuation with straight flute design
-
Reduces torque and improves thread quality
Gold Oxide Coating Enhances Performance
Friction Reduction and Tool Toughness
The gold oxide finish provides low-temperature stress relief during manufacturing, which enhances lubricity, reduces friction, and improves overall tap toughness. This results in longer tool life and smoother performance across multiple applications.
-
Improved wear resistance and cutting consistency
-
Ideal for mild steels, aluminum, brass, and other ductile materials
-
Enhances tool lifespan in production and maintenance environments
Premium HSS Construction and Fractional Sizing
Made in the USA for Industrial Reliability
Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), these taps deliver durability and precision. They are available in fractional inch sizes for compatibility with standard U.S. threading applications.
