PCD combination tooling can provide high component consistency with tamperproof tooling, ensuring that each component meets the desired specifications.

Thread made by tool is totally different. It really feels like screwing into aluminium parts. "Start" point is easily noticeable and screw goes really smooth. Event after I tightened screw really hard to stretch threads a bit, removed and screwed again, it still felt better than thread made with regular screw.

Generally regarded as not as good because it takes away some material where the rolling tap doesn't. However I would say that if you have a decent depth of hole to thread into and want to use this for the first few threads to make sure the screw starts well, with the screw doing the rest, then it would be useful and not really disadvantageous.

If you buy cheap kit with self tapping screws, this tool is probably not for you. Of course, it it possible to use regular screws but soft plastic is not the best for machine screws.

We also offer PCBN (polycrystalline CBN) cutting tools for all turning, boring, and milling applications. These include brazed tipped PCBN tools and inserts, and solid inserts with PCBN in a ceramic binder throughout the insert, or a full face 1/32" (1.787 mm) thick layer on a carbide substrate.

PCD tools have the capacity to out-produce carbide tools 10 to 100 times, resulting in increased productivity with long tool life.

PCD combination tooling is a custom-designed tool that combines several tool operations in one pass. This tooling offers high precision with a diamond cutting edge, increased productivity with long tool life, reduced downtime and tooling stock holding, and high component consistency with tamperproof tooling.

I had difficulties using the self-tapping screws on the Rising Fighter build - seriously hard plastic in the bathtub chassis, so going forward I was thinking of getting a tap.

Good tools are the basis of comfortable work and high end result. I learned this in cycling at it seems, that it works the same for RC.

Tagging along here ... but can I use a "standard" (non-JIS, DIN?) M3 tap? I mean, the thread is going to be slightly different, but does it matter?

Just by an eye. Put tip of Tap into hole and check if it is straight. Start really slow. If you see that it is not straight, do not remove it, just correct position.

We manufacture PCD tooling suitable for all turning, boring, and milling applications. We also offer the service of tipping cutting tools and inserts of any make with PCD sections. Available in three grades - fine, medium, and coarse, our PCD tools are highly versatile, ready to work with metallic, non-metallic, and plastic materials.

PCDtools manufacturing process

A key benefit of a tap IMO (regardless of type) is that it really defines the starting thread, so on repeated reassembly you're more likely to keep using the same thread and therefore keep the hole in good condition. I can't prove this is true though. I could be wrong. I just find that on some plastics the old "reverse it til it bumps down a thread" method is hard to gauge and a bit more definition to it would be nice (I'm guilty of not always using the tap). If my theory is true, then only the first thread of a tap will help there.

One thing worth to mention: I did test on hard plastic. I am not sure about result on that very soft parts from cheap kits.

However, result is totally different. If you make thread with screw and try to screw new one, you will feel that it goes quite harsh. It is also bit hard to find that "start" point, when you rotate screw counterclockwise. It just feels like using screw in already threaded hole, which all of us did many times.

If you buy medium or high end model which has machine screws in kit, just buy Thread Forming Tap. Yes, it is expensive but still in price of one Hop Up or even less in many cases.

PCDMeasuring Tool

Designed to meet our customers’ specific applications for machining non-ferrous materials, including high silica aluminum and other exotic materials.

PCD combination tooling can provide high component consistency with tamperproof tooling, ensuring that each component meets the desired specifications.

Natural diamond cutting and burnishing tools are perfect for achieving reflective finishes on metallic surfaces, transparent finishes on plastics, and finishes less than 8 micro-inch on other compatible materials such as contact lenses, interocular lenses, and copy machine drums. These tools offer exceptional hardness and wear resistance, making them ideal for a variety of applications.

I use the thread forming tool for carbon reinforced parts. It's a great too. However, I only use it for 3/4 of the depth needed, and let the screw cut the other 1/4 of the thread.

My tip is to try at some unused parts. It sounds like serious job but in fact, it is easier than with regular screws and screwdriver.

Our PCD (polycrystalline diamond) cutting tools offer abrasion resistance comparable to natural diamond tools, with added toughness. The unique structure of the diamond layer, featuring randomly oriented diamond particles, eliminates soft wear directions and cleavage planes, making our PCD tools ideal for machining non-ferrous and extremely abrasive materials. In many cases, our PCD tooling has the capacity to out-produce carbide tools 10 to 100 times.

I am QA guy, so decided to extend my test and compare Thread Forming Tap vs Regular Screw. I had two exactly the same parts and made thread using both methods.

@skom25 Thank you for all your explorations into building techniques. How do you ensure the thread forming tool is properly aligned with the work piece?

That's great! Just don't do like me, use plenty of grease. I have ruined a brand new hard lower deck back when I first got the tap. Without grease, heat built up very quickly and melted the plastic in the holes ?

PCBN tooling refers to polycrystalline cubic boron nitride cutting tools. These tools are made from synthetic cubic boron nitride particles that are sintered together under high pressure and high temperature. PCBN tooling offers high hardness and wear resistance, making it ideal for machining ferrous materials.

You can say that it is autosuggestion. No, I did blind test at the end. Both parts were exactly the same. I just mixed them and tried again. Difference described above was clearly visible.

Before I start my new build, I decided to buy Thread Forming Tap. I was not sure if I have to, because I read many times that you can just use regular screw and not waste money, on really overpriced tool from Tamiya. I like to try new tools first, before I use them during build. I found few parts in spares which will not be used.

At Abrasive Technology, our expertise in creating custom-designed tools that match your precise specifications is unparalleled. With our years of industry experience, we are proud to offer an array of diamond tools and inserts - tailored to fit your exact needs. From single-point dressing tools, profile/blade dressers, impregnated dressers, to chisel and cone profile tools, we have it all.

Second thing to mention: In XV-01 which I bought, you can find information in manual, to thread holes first. So it is not like doing "Voodoo" on kit without reason.

You will not damage part, because it will be only 1 or 2 threads at start. If you go quite straight on that moment, hole will hold tap and you do not have to worry.
