While cut taps and form taps are both designed to create internal threads, the way they go about their tasks is completely different. As the name suggests, cutting taps produce threads by progressively cutting away the space between threads into which the fastener’s external threads will fit. Forming taps, by contrast, remove no material. Instead, they move or displace material inside the hole to build up the threads and dig into the grooves.

The number of high quality questions asked indicated that these potential future manufacturing employees had a serious interest in hearing about the operations of a plant whose emphasis is shipping orders tomorrow that are manufactured today.
Regal was one of over 800 manufacturers nationwide who participated by hosting open house tours so interested visitors could get a glimpse of the modern day operations of companies proud to be manufacturing products in the USA.
Dozens of community leaders and other interested local patrons also showed their support by attending MFG Day 2013 with us.
Regal was honored to see this demonstration of dedication to the manufacturing field, and we look forward to continuing to foster the bright future it holds for a younger generation.
