Taps - August 5, 2026
A-SFT-AL VOL.1
Chip entanglement is the leading cause of reduced tapping efficiency. Chips produced from ductile aluminum alloys are especially prone to wrapping around the tap,
creating a significant challenge. The A-SFT-AL minimizes chip entanglement in aluminum applications and enhances operational efficiency by reducing machine downtime associated with chip removal.
Fewer stoppages lead to higher productivity and support labor-saving initiatives, while improved productivity also contributes to lower power consumption.
For aluminum tapping applications where chip entanglement is a concern, the A-SFT-AL is a highly recommended spiral tap solution.

A-SFT-INOX VOL.1
The biggest factor that reduces tapping efficiency is chip entanglement. This is especially problematic when machining stainless steel,
where tough, ductile chips are difficult to evacuate and tend to cause instability.
The A-SFT-INOX suppresses chip entanglement in stainless steel tapping and improves work efficiency by reducing machine downtime associated with chip removal.
Fewer machine stops boost productivity, reduce labor needs, and help lower power consumption.
This spiral flute tap is highly recommended for stainless steel applications where chip entanglement is a concern.

AE-N SERIES VOL.6
The AE-TS-N and AE-TL-N DLC coated carbide end mills for non-ferrous materials are extremely effective for non-ferrous materials such as aluminum alloys that require welding resistance and lubricity with the DLC-SUPER HARD coating.
With excellent cutting sharpness, these end mills are able to suppress burrs to achieve excellent surface finish.
This end mill series is available in square, sharp corner edge and radius types to accommodate a wide range of fields, from part processing to applications in the aerospace industry.
In addition, dia. 1 mm to 2.5 mm have been added to the lineup of the square type and sharp corner edge type to support precision machining of small diameter sizes.
New AE-TL-N chipbreaker type: breaks chips into small, manageable pieces to enable uninterrupted machining.

CBN-FB2 VOL.1
Mold materials have grown increasingly harder in recent years, driving demand for greater machining precision.
The CBN-FB2 features a CBN sintered body with superior wear and heat resistance, ensuring consistent accuracy over extended use.
This minimizes changes in precision caused by tool replacement during processing.
In addition, reducing machine downtime associated with tool changes significantly shortens the overall lead time for mold manufacturing.
