Walter introduces the new Thread·tec™ Omni HSS-E TD117 and TD217 Advance taps for blind-hole and through-hole machining, offering one of the industry’s most versatile and extensive ranges of tapping products. With over 1,000 items covering virtually all common profiles and diameters, these taps are suitable for 80% of applications. Walter offers three grades to meet diverse needs: the WY80FC grade excels in a broad range of applications, providing excellent chip formation across almost all materials. The WY80RG grade is optimized for maximum tool life in ISO material groups M and N, while WY80AA is designed to maximize durability in ISO groups P and K.

Both the TD117 Advance and the TD217 Advance are designed for an extremely wide range of applications and materials, and offer corresponding advantages in everyday use. The TD117 Advance, designed for blind-hole threads up to 2.5 × DN, impresses with a special micro-geometry which prevents fractures, as well as with optimized cutting edge preparation, which ensures increased process reliability. The TD217 Advance for through-hole threads up to 3 × DN impresses with an extended tolerance position, which increases tool life in all profiles and dimensions. Its optimized chamfer clearance ensures it can be used across multiple materials. Both taps reduce tool and storage costs and are therefore of particular interest to users with medium to small batch sizes and changing materials, such as in general mechanical engineering. In contrast to the competition, the comprehensive Thread·tec™ Omni standard range emphasizes Walter’s role as a complete system supplier.
