Balax's thread forming process offers several advantages over thread cutting, including:

• Chipless Tapping
• Stronger Threads
• Better Thread Gaging
• Longer Tap Life
• More Efficient Production

Balax Thredfloer Forming Taps are ground on special, patented thread grinders featuring lead form geometry correction. This process produces forming taps whose lead threads are on pitch, resulting in reduced tapping torque.

Thredfloer Forming Taps are available in ANSI, DIN and JIS sizes with plug, bottom, or one thread lead chamfers. Specialty Thredfloers are available in miniature, extension, STI and straight and tapered pipe versions.
