Norseman Drill and Tool Type 33-AG Metric Gold Oxide HSS Straight Flute Bottoming Hand Taps

Norseman Type 33-AG Metric Gold Oxide Bottoming Hand Taps

Precision Tapping for Tight-Tolerance Applications

The Norseman Drill and Tool Type 33-AG Metric Bottoming Hand Taps are engineered for high-precision threading where full thread depth is required, such as in blind holes close to the bottom of the hole. Manufactured in the USA from high-speed steel (HSS), these taps are ideal for both manual tapping and powered machine operations.

With a bottoming chamfer, they cut full threads nearly to the bottom of the hole, making them essential for applications requiring maximum thread engagement.

Gold Oxide Finish for Enhanced Performance

Improved Lubricity and Friction Reduction

The gold oxide coating offers a low-temperature stress relief that improves the tap’s toughness while also enhancing lubricity and reducing friction during cutting. This results in:

• Smoother thread finishes

• Lower tapping torque

• Extended tool life in tough applications

This finish is particularly beneficial when tapping harder materials or when tapping under power in CNC machining centers or tapping heads.
