tappstång
A tappstång, also known as a tapping stick or tapping rod, is a tool used in various industries for tapping, which is the process of cutting threads in a hole. It is typically made of hardened steel and has a square or hexagonal cross-section to fit into the hole and provide leverage for the tapping process. The tappstång is used in conjunction with a tapping wrench or tapping handle to apply rotational force to the tool, allowing it to cut threads in the material. The tapping process is commonly used in metalworking, plumbing, and other industries where threaded connections are required. The tappstång is an essential tool for creating precise and accurate threaded holes in various materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. It is available in a range of sizes and thread types to accommodate different applications and materials. Proper use and maintenance of the tappstång are crucial for achieving high-quality threaded holes and extending the tool's lifespan.
