FAQ

What is a Tap?

Tool for machining internal threads. Taps are used to internally thread pre-drilled holes. High precision is of vital importance, especially in areas such as automotive engines that require precision screws. OSG offers a line of taps with different diameters, all types of threads and with suitable specifications for a wide variety of applications.


What is a Drill?

Tool for machining holes. Drills are used to drill holes in a wide variety of surfaces. OSG is widely recognized for the development of high precision and high added value products for use in the manufacture of automotive and aerospace parts, which require advanced manufacturing techniques with zero margin of error.


What is a End Mill?

End mills are tools for various types of machining. Ex: profiles, molds, holes, tangential milling, ramping slot milling, single slot milling, helical milling and trochoidal milling. Milling cutters are used to cut and outline molds for plastic parts for household appliances, automotive parts and stamping. To meet today's demanding requirements (smaller size, lower weight and lower cost), OSG has developed several carbide cutters that are excellent both in process accuracy and durability.


What is a Round Die?

Tool for machining external threads. Dies are used to make external threads on cylindrical surfaces. Used to manufacture high precision screws and threaded rods for various industry sectors, such as automotive, aerospace, auto parts and fasteners. OSG offers a line of dies with different diameters, different types of threads and with suitable specifications for a wide variety of applications.


What is an Indexable Tool?

Interchangeable tools are used for milling, drilling, turning or tapping. While rotary tools are solid, indexable tools use disposable inserts fixed to the tool body.


What is PVD Coating?

PVD coating, from the English acronym Physical Vapor Deposition, is a layer deposited on metallic surfaces, with microscopic thickness, being extremely hard (combating abrasive wear), with a very low coefficient of friction (combating adhesive wear) and withstanding high temperatures (over 1000º C).

Primus Coating has tribological solutions for all production processes and/ or final product.


Which tools can be regrinded?

At the OSG Service Center Drills, Milling Cutters, Cutting Taps, Interchangeables and Cutting Dies can be resharpened.
