Tapping

At Fullerton we have a huge selection of taps in stock and on the shelf. Complementary to this we can also source and supply bespoke and unique taps for unusual jobs or hard to reach areas.

Taps and dies are tools used to create screw threads, which is called threading. Many are cutting tools; others are forming tools. A tap is used to cut or form the female portion of the mating pair (e.g. a nut). A die is used to cut or form the male portion of the mating pair (e.g., a bolt). The process of cutting or forming threads using a tap is called tapping, whereas the process using a die is called threading. Both tools can be used to clean up a thread, which is called chasing.
