Lucky for you, that’s why Jarvis Cutting Tools exists. To bring to market superior cutting tools like the A286 Taps to bring out the most in any fastener application.

Furtherly, since fastener manufacturers operate with very close profit margins, the taps used must be cost effective by generating long tool life and performing at a high rate, all at the lowest possible cost.

For instance, one such fastener that is of utmost importance when it comes to the tap is the A286 fastener. For this particular fastener, Jarvis has long been the purveyor of the Jarhook product line of taps.

Our Jarhook tap is the best available tap for A286 fasteners. In fact, during extensive testing the Jarhook surpassed all of the competition in tool life and tapping speed. In a controlled testing environment the 10-32 Jarhook A286 tap achieved an average tool life of 1,200 holes at a speed of 1,000 RPM in A286 6-point nuts. Thus, this outperformed the competition at this speed by over 30%.

JARVIS AEROSPACE TAPS ARE:

• • Designed specifically for the material
• • Designed for optimal tool life
• • Consistent high quality threads
• • Available in different configurations (spiral point, spiral flute, forming) for your application
