At BAER, we see ourselves not only as a manufacturer and distributor of threading tools, but also as a point of contact for all questions and problems relating to threading. That is why it is important to us to always be there for our customers, both before and after the purchase, and to always be on hand to advise them. We see the transfer of knowledge as part of our multifaceted task and have placed a particular focus on this point in the extensive redesign of our website in recent months. In addition to detailed product descriptions and the newly launched blog, the third pillar of our BAER Academy is the hugely expanded "Technical data" section on our website.
While the blog and our content on various social media platforms focus on entertaining explanations, the "Technical data" section is more sober. The idea behind our concept is to create a balance between a relaxed approach to the sometimes complex topic of thread manufacturing and a comprehensive collection of facts. While you will find detailed instructions and explanations in the blog, the "Technical data" section is your first port of call in your search for concentrated thread knowledge. All information has been carefully compiled and checked by us - a pool of knowledge you can rely on.
It was important to us to design the "Technical data" section in such a way that not only professionals can find their way around. Beginners and DIY enthusiasts should also be able to benefit from the collection of data that we make available to you. That's why all the information is presented in a compact but clear format. You will find clear tables, sketches and graphics, as well as short explanatory texts to make it easier for non-experts to use.
So what's in the new and much more comprehensive "Technical data" section ? Thread knowledge galore! Here you can find out everything about designations and geometries on taps. From the various chamfer shapes to grooves, dimensions and centering - no questions remain unanswered here. An overview of thread tolerances is also included. You will also find detailed information about the base material used to make taps and the various surface treatments that can give the tool special properties. It continues with facts, figures and data on the tapping process. Particularly important: the correct core hole size. With our detailed tables, you can find the correct dimensions for every type of thread in no time at all. And if you prefer to do the math yourself, we have also compiled all the mathematical formulas relating to tapping for you. There are also helpful tips on cutting speed and cooling lubricants, useful tables for converting inches to cm and much more! And of course you will find all this information not only for taps, but also for dies.
In addition to this extensive collection of technical data on taps and dies, you can also browse through our collection of tables for the various thread types. Here we present 35 different thread standards, all with a detailed thread table, sectional drawing with all characteristic properties and other useful and helpful information. We are confident that you will always find the information you need here for every type of thread you encounter in your work.
And if not, please let us know! The "Technical data" section provides useful support, but is of course no substitute for our competent customer service experts. Of course, our employees are still there for you at all times and will help you with information and explanations whenever you can't get any further on your own.
