Snap-Tap - Laydown Insert Threading System
We use advanced manufacturing processes to produce the precision cutting edges on our Snap-Tap™ thread turning tools. The process eliminates the need for secondary grinding or honing operations, which makes these tools a highly economical choice. Pair these tools with our Anti-Twist Toolholders and solid suggestions from our Thread Turning Wizard software and there’s no thread turning application you can’t handle.We use advanced manufacturing processes to produce the precision cutting edges on our Snap-Tap® thread turning tools.

Our popular range of Snap-Tap® thread turning tools are available in three insert chipbreaker geometries for the successful machining of steel and stainless steel. While each geometry serves a unique purpose, they all feature the CP500 grade that features a highly wear resistant PVD coating to provide dependable machining for a large majority of common thread turning applications.
The innovative toolholders made for use with Snap-Tap® inserts offer the best possible holding power available for long tool life and high accuracy. They employ an Anti-Twist insert locking system that features a carbide pin in the back of the insert pocket that resists wear and prevents the insert from turning or twisting under pressure during machining. For added insert and toolholder rigidity, a D-style clamp securely pulls the insert down and into the pocket.
