Tapping process is a key process in CNC machining because of its difficulty to hold close tolerances. Selecting the most
economical tapping tool, also keeping in mind the performance of the tool, is a big challenge. During this study, different
tapping tools with same material specificationmanufactured by different manufacturers have been taken into consideration, to
select the most suitable tool.
In industries, it is mandatory to produce the component at a competitive price with better quality. During this study different
types of tapping tool by various manufacturers have been taken intoconsideration with same material composition. And also to
find the relationship between the previous operational performances in the computer numerical control system has also been
taken into consideration.
According to this study, it has been found out that the tool manufactured by Emuge is most economical, with respect tothe
number of components produced per tool, in the batch of tapping tools under consideration
