CAST IRON
The UFS technical brochure is dedicated to families of Threading Taps for Cast Iron, designed to deliver high performance in the tapping of GJL grey cast iron, GJS nodular cast iron and ADI (Austempered Ductile Iron), typical short-chipping materials widely used in industrial manufacturing.
A practical tool that brings together high-performance machine taps for cast iron, developed to ensure precision, consistent thread quality and process stability, even in medium-to-high productivity applications. The range includes cutting taps with straight flutes, available for through holes and blind holes, engineered to provide high torsional strength, controlled chip evacuation and reduced risk of tool breakage.
The solutions are manufactured in HSSE and PM3 powdered metallurgy steel, ensuring controlled thread depth and ISO tolerances, making them ideal for CNC machining and series production of cast iron components.
The range is available in the LINE series, offering an excellent balance between quality and cost-effectiveness, and the TOP series, featuring advanced coatings such as NQ, TiCN, TX and AHI, developed to increase wear resistance and optimize tool life. Versions with internal axial lubrication (FOR) and radial lubrication (FORY) are also available to enhance reliability in demanding machining conditions.
Thanks to the QR codes included in the technical tables, users can quickly access the UFS B2B portal to check availability, consult detailed technical data and identify alternative solutions.
A practical and immediate resource for professionals working with cast iron who require reliable, precise and up-to-date technical support, backed by the full expertise of UFS in the field of threading tools.
E26/E27 NQ • E26/E27 CT • E26/E27 FOR-CT
Straight flutes, HSSE steel, for blind and through holes. Straight flutes provide greater torsional resistance during the cutting process. This tool family is suitable for medium-productivity machining. Available with NQ surface treatment or TiCN coating. Also suitable for high-silicon aluminium alloys, brass, and short-chipping bronze.
K26/K27 • K26/K27 FOR-TX • K26/K27 FORY-TX
PM3 sintered steel, TX coating. Straight flutes provide greater torsional resistance during the cutting process. A tool family designed for high-productivity machining. Suitable for both blind and through holes. Also available in a central (FOR) and radial (FORY) hole version for optimal lubrication during machining, improved chip evacuation, and better control of cutting temperatures.
K26E/K27E AHI • K26E/K27E FOR-AHI • K26E/K27E FORY-AHI
PM3 sintered steel, AHI coating, chamfer E. Straight flutes provide greater torsional resistance during the cutting process.
A tool family designed for high-productivity machining. Suitable for both blind and through holes. Also available in a central (FOR) and radial (FORY) hole version for optimal lubrication during machining, improved chip evacuation, and better control of cutting temperatures. New AHI coating, high hardness, thermal shock stability, and wear resistance.
