Machine taps are our most important production segment. In addition to the standard versions, our colour ring series has been particularly successful. With the help of the six colours, which stand for the most important material groups, the right tool can be found quickly. Around 80 percent of all cutting tasks can be easily solved without having to search for the right tool. Our tools without a coloured ring are designed with a cutting geometry for universal use.
