Expertly engineered for high-efficiency coarse pitch threading in heavy-duty structural materials, the Guhring Metric Coarse TiN Coated Gold Ring Spiral Flute Tap range is the definitive industrial choice for machine tapping blind holes. Operating on the standard 60° ISO Metric Coarse thread profile, these premium high-speed steel (HSS-E) tools feature an advanced Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating combined with a steam-tempered surface treatment. This specialized combination increases surface hardness, lowers the coefficient of friction, and significantly reduces thermal loading during aggressive cutting cycles. The advanced 40° right-hand spiral flute geometry cleanly shears tough materials and forcefully pulls compact chips up and out of the workpiece, completely eliminating the risk of chip packing and catastrophic tool breakage at the bottom of deep pockets. Guhring's signature Gold Ring classification signals to CNC programmers and machinists that these metric taps are structurally optimized to deliver exceptional tool life and perfect pitch compliance when threading structural steels, mild steel, AS/NZS 3678 250 and 350 grade plate, free-cutting steels, unalloyed case-hardened steels, and high-tensile heat-treatable alloys.
