Top quality meets cost-effectiveness: The new EASYTap tap from LMT Tools combines outstanding performance, maximum flexibility, and highest efficiency in a product line, enabling powerful thread machining in a wide range of materials. A true all-rounder for process-safe thread manufacturing in blind and through holes.
The EASY product line from LMT Tools includes universal plug-and-play tools for various manufacturing processes and application fields. It combines strong performance, maximum efficiency, versatile application, and easy handling, optimally bringing together performance, quality, functionality, and cost-effectiveness. With the current addition of EASYTap, the tool specialist is now expanding its all-rounder series with a solution for precise and efficient thread machining.
Excellent thread quality at reduced tool costs
The new EASYTap tap has been developed with a focus on the central challenges in thread manufacturing. It is characterized by perfect chip removal, long tool life, a wide range of applications, and maximum process reliability, enabling a significant reduction in time and costs in production. Users benefit from excellent thread quality, fast processing times, reduced tool changes, and low costs per part.
Made from high-quality HSS-E material and finished with a proven TiN coating, the EASYTap ensures maximum precision and durability. A newly developed cutting geometry, optimized flutes, and a helix angle of 45° ensure stable and efficient chip formation without chip wrappings. The even and low torque positively affects tool life.
Best results in every material
The EASYTap produces gauge-holding threads up to 3xD and covers a particularly wide range of applications. It is suitable for blind and through holes, can be used in almost all materials – whether steel, stainless steel, cast iron, or aluminum – and allows for the production of all common thread types such as metric coarse and fine threads, UNC, UNF, NPT (blind hole), G and EG-M. The standard range includes diameters from 1 to 30 mm / 1 inch. Larger diameters or other lengths can be requested. The EASYTap is universally applicable in synchronous and compensating chucks or collets and is compatible with oil, emulsion, and MMS (minimum quantity lubrication).
Flexible all-rounder with outstanding performance
Whether in general mechanical engineering, transport, drives, cranes, wind energy, die and mold making, or pump and valve technology: The EASYTap is a true jack-of-all-trades and impresses with good results. For instance, the tap achieved a tool life of 26,500 threads in a blind hole application with a thread depth of 12 mm in martensitic steel. That amounts to just 0.1 cents per thread. 'With the EASYTap, users receive a universally applicable tool for efficient thread manufacturing. The new tap offers optimal chip removal and generates the best tool lives as well as high cutting speeds in every material. This enables a significant reduction in process costs while maximizing performance,' summarizes Anita Tritschler, Global Product Manager Holemaking & Finishing at LMT Tools, the advantages succinctly.
