Century Drill and Tool NF Plug Tap

The Century Drill and Tool NF Plug Tap line is a range of hand threading taps. They cut and repair internal National Fine (NF) threads in maintenance, fabrication, repair and general workshop jobs. These taps are also called fine thread plug taps, hand taps or thread cutting taps. The plug style is the most commonly used tap style, and it works well for starting and cutting threads in a variety of materials.

Key Features:

• Plug chamfer: The 3 to 5 chamfered threads make it easier to start the tap and cut threads.
• Precision cut threads: Accurately formed threads give consistent, exact threading and a reliable fit.
• Heat treated and tempered: The hardened threads resist wear and last longer in use.
• Carbon steel construction: The steel is durable enough for repeated hand threading.
• Hand threading design: Use with a tap wrench to cut internal threads.
• Fine thread (NF) forms: The line covers machine screw and fractional fine thread applications.

Use these taps to create new internal threads or to restore damaged ones in bolts, studs and similar fasteners. Century Drill and Tool offers its taps individually and in sets, so you can build out a threading kit to suit the work you do.
