In fact, according to the most recent 2017 USCTI Data, over 25% of the US Market uses our form taps for their applications. Jarvis can optimize Jarflo forming tap designs utilizing variations in the number of lobes and lube grooves, variable cutdown lengths, and controlled minor diameters to maximize productivity and provide the lowest cost-per-hole. This feature displaces material evenly resulting in reduced torque requirements.

They are also manufactured with the crest location in the cutdown section in perfect lead with the crest location in the full diameter. Jarflo forming taps are produced with ground radius crests designed to reduce torque requirements by as much as 50%. Our innovative designs are used for a wide variety if applications including: Jarflo is the premier name in roll form tapping. Because no metal is cut away, the possibility of producing oversized threads is greatly reduced.

Stronger threads: The grain flow of formed threads – as a result of form tapping – follows the contour of the thread resulting in greater thread strength.īetter thread gaging: Forming taps rearranges the metal in the hole to create the thread. Longer tap life: Jarvis’ industry-leading forming taps last 3 to 20 times longer than cutting taps because they have no cutting edge to dull. This leads to cost savings and greater returns, which in the end equals a stronger hold and a bolstered bottom line. This enables cleaner holes with improved surface finish. Thus, the absence of chips eliminates the need for flutes, resulting in a solid, stronger tap for your application.Ĭhipless tapping: Since the thread is formed and not cut, there are no chips to interfere with the tapping process or to cause chip-removal problems in blind holes. Stronger taps: The absence of cutting material due to the use of forming taps eliminates chip residue. Some of the benefits of form tapping include:

In fact, there are many applications, which now specify Jarvis’ crest radius because of the extra strength they provide. Our rounded shoulders can dramatically increase tap life and create much stronger threads. The crest radius provides an edge prep for forming taps. But Jarvis ground crest radius has significant advantage in a wide variety of applications. This truncated thread form works the best in some applications. Traditionally, taps are produced with crest flats. You will not find any forming taps (Jarflo’s) that work as well as ours! Jarvis Cutting Tools has the ability to grind either a crest flat or a crest radius.
