TAP ITS COUNTERSUNK (100)

Product Information

The TAP ITS COUNTERSUNK 100 refers to a type of specialised hardware tool which is primarily used for shaping or cutting threads either inside or outside a material. This kind of tap is often known as a countersink tap because of its distinctive design which allows it to create a cone-shaped enlargement at the end of a predrilled hole. This is typically done so that when a corresponding fastener is inserted, its head can sit flush with or below the surface of the material. The TAP ITS COUNTERSUNK 100 is particularly renowned for its extreme durability, high performance, and suitability for use in various different materials, including aluminium, steel and plastic.

This type of countersink tap is used extensively in a whole host of industries in the UK, ranging from manufacturing and engineering, to construction and DIY. One of the primary functions of the TAP ITS COUNTERSUNK 100 is to create threads for screws or bolts. The tool is rotated around the predrilled hole, and as it spirals downwards, it cuts grooves into the sides of the hole, creating internal threads. This process, known as tapping, is vital in a multitude of applications, notably in manufacturing, where properly-threaded holes are essential to the assembly of parts and components.

Another common usage of the TAP ITS COUNTERSUNK 100 in the UK is in producing countersunk holes. Countersunk holes are often used in applications where the fasteners, such as screws or bolts, need to sit flush with the material or be recessed below the surface. Here, the tap not only creates threads inside the hole but also carves out a conical depression at the top of the hole. This particular design feature allows for a cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing appearance and at the same time, reduces the risk of snags or interferences. You'll often find countersunk holes used in pieces of furniture, devices, and equipment where a smooth surface is crucial.
