BEYOND TR13 Trapezoidal Thread Taps
Precision Metric ACME Style Tapping | High-Speed Steel (HSS)
Industrial TR13 Trapezoidal Boring & Threading
The BEYOND TR13 series is a specialist collection of trapezoidal thread taps designed for creating precise internal threads in lead screw nuts and mechanical transmission parts. Crafted from industrial-grade High-Speed Steel (HSS), these Tr13 metric taps are engineered to handle the unique 30° thread profile required for motion control components. Whether you are working with carbon steel, alloy steel, or non-ferrous metals like bronze, the TR13 series delivers exceptional thread accuracy and tool longevity.

Premium HSS & Straight Flute Design
Material Properties: All BEYOND TR13 taps are manufactured from High-Speed Steel (HSS). This material offers the perfect balance between hardness and toughness, ensuring that the tap can withstand the significant torque generated during large-pitch trapezoidal threading without snapping or losing its cutting edge.
Straight Flute Geometry: The straight flute design provides maximum core strength for the tap. This is critical for the TR13 series, as trapezoidal threading removes a large volume of material. The straight flutes allow for efficient chip storage and are ideal for both through-hole and blind-hole tapping in short-chip materials like bronze and cast iron.
Recommended Cutting Parameters (TR13)
Suggested for Carbon Steel/Stainless/Bronze. Always use tapping oil:
- Cutting Speed (Vc): 5 - 10 m/min (Steel); 12 - 18 m/min (Bronze/Brass)
- Feed Rate: Feed must match the pitch (e.g., TR13X2 = 2.0mm/rev).
- Tapping Method: Machine tapping preferred. For manual use, ensure a perfectly perpendicular guide.
Customer Feedback from Around the Globe
"Perfect Fit for Lead Screws"
"Used the TR13X2 for custom 3D printer parts. The threads are clean and the nut glides perfectly. High quality HSS."
- Mark R. (USA)
"Smooth Threading"
"I was worried about tapping bronze, but the TR13X3 went through like butter with some cutting oil."
- Hans S. (Germany)
"Hard to find TR13 sizes locally. Beyond has the best selection and the quality is industrial grade."
- Hiroshi K. (Japan)
"Great price. Accurate threads."
- Carlos M. (Spain)
"Solid tap. Held up well in 1045 steel."
- David W. (Canada)
Technical Q&A
Q: Is TR13 the same as ACME?
A: No. TR13 is a Metric Trapezoidal standard with a 30° angle. ACME is an Imperial standard with a 29° angle. They are similar but not compatible.
Q: What is the benefit of the TR13X4 pitch?
A: Coarser pitches like 4mm allow for faster linear movement per revolution, ideal for power transmission lead screws.
Q: Does this work for CNC machines?
A: Yes, these are machine-grade taps designed for high-torque spindle applications.
Machinist Tip: Tapping Material Comparison
HSS (Standard): Best for universal applications, offering high toughness and resistance to snapping in steel and bronze.
Carbon Steel: Avoid for Trapezoidal Tapping. Carbon steel is too brittle for the deep cuts required for Tr13 profiles and often results in broken taps.
Coating Note: For high-volume production in stainless steel, consider TiN-coated taps for reduced friction and heat.
Technical FAQ & Buying Guide
Absolutely. Our CNC carbide inserts (including CNMG, WNMG, DNMG, and APMT series) are manufactured strictly adhering to international ISO/ANSI specifications. A CNMG 120408 from OYYU BEYOND will flawlessly fit any standard turning tool holder or indexable tool from major global brands like Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal, Iscar, Walter, or SECO, providing a highly cost-effective premium alternative without sacrificing tolerance or tool life.
We offer optimized CVD and PVD multi-layer coatings for different ISO material groups:
- For Carbon/Alloy Steel (ISO P): Choose our thick multi-layer CVD coated grades (e.g., Al2O3 + TiN). They provide exceptional crater wear resistance and thermal barriers during high-speed dry or wet roughing.
- For Stainless Steel (ISO M): Choose our nano-structured PVD coated grades with sharp, positive chipbreakers (like -TM or -MA). This combination prevents work hardening and effectively controls sticky chips.
The optimal cutting parameters vary depending on the workpiece hardness and operation type:
- For General Steel Turnings: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) ranges from 150 to 280 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.15 to 0.45 mm/rev.
- For Stainless Steel Finishing: Recommended cutting speed ($V_c$) is 120 to 200 m/min, with a feed rate ($f$) of 0.10 to 0.25 mm/rev.Always adjust parameters based on early wear patterns: increase $V_c$ if built-up edge occurs, or reduce $V_c$ if severe flank wear is observed.
