Norseman Drill and Tool Type 23L-AG Fractional Left Handed HSS Straight Flute Taper Hand Taps
Norseman Drill & Tool Type 23L-AG Left-Handed Taper Hand Taps
Norseman Drill & Tool Type 23L-AG Fractional Left-Handed HSS Straight Flute Taper Hand Taps are engineered for precision threading, superior durability, and smooth cutting performance in demanding industrial environments. Purpose-built for machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance professionals, these premium taps deliver exceptional accuracy and reliability when producing left-hand internal threads in a wide range of materials.
High-Performance Hi-Tungsten & Hi-Molybdenum Steel Construction
Each Type 23L-AG tap is manufactured from a specialized blend of Hi-Tungsten and Hi-Molybdenum high-speed tool steels, providing outstanding heat resistance, wear resistance, and toughness. This advanced metallurgy ensures the tap maintains cutting edge integrity even under heavy loads or extended use. The straight flute design supports strong chip control and consistent cutting action, making it ideal for threading through mild steel, alloy steel, cast iron, and other tough workpiece materials.
Gold Surface Treatment for Maximum Lubricity
To enhance performance, Norseman applies a gold surface treatment that significantly increases lubricity and reduces friction during the tapping process. This coating minimizes galling, lowers cutting torque, and promotes cooler operation, resulting in longer tool life and smoother, cleaner thread formation. The gold finish also provides easy visual identification for shop technicians managing multiple tap types.
Precision Left-Hand Threading for Critical Applications
The Type 23L-AG series is specifically designed for creating left-hand fractional threads, commonly used in applications requiring reverse torque resistance, vibration protection, or anti-loosening characteristics. These taps are essential for automotive repair, heavy equipment maintenance, metal fabrication, and production environments where accurate and dependable left-hand threading is required.
With premium tool steel construction, enhanced lubricity, and Norseman’s trusted American-made quality, the 23L-AG Left-Handed HSS Taper Hand Taps provide a reliable, long-lasting solution for high-precision tapping operations.
