• Specialized Plug Taps
• Covers Most Threads Used by Thorlabs

Specialty plug taps not readily available from tooling suppliers are provided to aid in the integration of our components into your custom built devices. In order to tap a hole greater than 1/4" and smaller than or equal to 1/2", the tap should be held in a drill press and fed in manually, while also rotating the tap manually. In order to tap a hole greater than 1/2", the tap should be placed in a center lathe and fed in manually, while also rotating the tap manually.

Please note that due to drill bit availability, some holes may need to be milled out rather than drilled prior to tapping.
