Norseman Drill and Tool Type 32 Metric Bright Finish HSS Straight Flute Plug Hand Taps

Norseman Drill and Tool Type 32 Metric Bright Finish HSS Plug Hand Taps

Reliable Metric Tapping for Manual and Machine Applications

The Norseman Type 32 Metric Bright Finish Plug Hand Taps offer precision threading performance for both hand tapping and power tapping applications. Manufactured in the USA using high-speed steel (HSS), these taps are built for accuracy, durability, and ease of use in metric threading tasks.

Ideal for use in through holes and blind holes, the plug chamfer provides a balance of thread engagement and chip clearance, making it suitable for general-purpose use in production and maintenance environments.

Bright Finish for Chip Flow and Cleaner Threads

Ideal for Softer Materials and General Use

The bright finish on these HSS taps reduces friction at the cutting edge, improving chip flow and resulting in smoother thread surfaces. It’s particularly effective in materials such as aluminum, brass, mild steel, and plastics.

• Enhances chip evacuation in softer metals

• Reduces galling and thread distortion

• Ideal for low-to-medium hardness materials
