Phoenix Drill

An Indexable drill series for efficient, stable hole processing.

PHOENIX® PD is an indexable drill series designed for efficient, stable holemaking up to 5XD. It is an ideal solution for a wide variety of materials such as carbon and alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous materials.

Taps

OSG is the world's largest manufacturer of Taps and threading tools. OSG has a tap for any application.

OSG provides straight fluted taps, spiral pointed taps, spiral fluted taps, forming taps, and thread mills. As a world's top tap manufacturer, they provide high quality and efficient taps.

Spiral Flute Taps

Spiral Flute Taps taps utilize a helical flute which pulls chips upward evacuating them from the entrance of the hole.

Their design makes them ideally suited for blind hole applications.

Spiral Point Taps

Spiral point taps, also called Gun taps, utilize an additional gash on the front of the tap which redirects chips forward towards the bottom or exit of the hole.

Their design makes them ideally suited for through hole applications.

Forming Taps

Forming taps, unlike cut taps that remove metal, work by compressing the work material to generate the desired thread.

Because no chip is produced, breakage due to chip packing and bird nesting is eliminated. Form taps are ideally suited for both blind & through holes.

Straight Flute Taps

Straight flute hand taps

Straight flute taps, also called Hand taps, are designed for short chipping materials, such as cast iron.

While their rigid design certainly makes them suitable for hand tapping operations, the straight flute configuration is also ideal for CNC tapping.

Pipe Taps

Pipe taps are used to produce internal threads to meet a variety of standards, including NPT, NPTF, NPS, NPSF and ANPT classifications.

Features like helical flutes and interruptions on the tap itself help reduce tapping torque and extend tool life.

Thread Mills

OSG manufacturers Thread Mills for Inch (imperial), Metric, and Pipe threads. Thread mills are utilized to produce internal and external threads utilizing helical milling to produce the desired thread profile. Thread mills are typically carbide, and smaller in diameter than their corresponding tap would be, thus enabling them to fit within the ID of the pre-drilled hole. 3-axis CNC machines are required to use thread mills.

Premium Tap Series for Machining Titanium Alloys
"A new series of taps is designed for machining titanium alloys. They are well suited for difficult threading applications. This new premium tap series, the EXOPRO-Ti, for putting threads in materials like titanium alloys; Commercially Pure 6Al4V & 4Al4V

Variable Helix Tap Series Designed for Stainless Steel
"Constructed of vanadium high speed steel, the tap features a variable lead-flute design with chip control for stable chip evacuation. This new series provide increased consistency, improved reliability and extended tool life with water-soluble coolants. The taps are available in sizes ranging from No. 2 to 1" and M2 to M4."

Is there a better Shrink Fit System?
"There are a variety of Shrink Fit Toolholding Systems on the market, all of which use thermal contraction to grip cutting tools. However, while most Shrink Fit holders are one-piece type, OSG has improved upon this design with our “hybrid” Shrink Fit System.
The word “hybrid” is defined as “something of mixed origin or composition” and this is what OSG has accomplished with our shrink fit system, as our holders have the accuracy and rigidity of Shrink Fit Holders, but the versatility of Collet Chucks."

NEW! OSG HY-PRO® CARB 3D and 5D Drills! NEW!
"The new design boasts new point and flute geometry that reduce thrust forces and chip size, thereby enabling higher feeds and metal removal rates"

Tool Geometry and the selecting the right tap for your CNC
"Understanding tool geometry and selecting the right tap for different workpiece materials can help take the anxiety out of tapping operations.Many machinists have learned to dread tapping. The story goes something like this…"

Thread Milling
"Thread is processed by advancing one pitch feed per revolution in the axial direction, utilizing the planet-like rotation and revolution movements of the tool. Internal and external thread, right or left hand threads can all be produced with this one tool, simply by changing the direction of rotation and/or feed"

NEW PRODUCT!

The EXOTAP® A-Tap® is an all-purpose tap series designed to simplify tool management and to excel in a wide variety of materials and applications.

The EXOTAP® A-Tap® is made from powdered metal HSS and has OSG's patented V coating to achieve excellent wear resistance.

The spiral flute series has adopted a variable helix flute design, which encourages stable chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces.

The spiral point series has unique geometry that enables greater chip control that can help produce tightly compacted chips for easy ejection from the hole.
