Spiral Point
taps are designed for machine tapping in through holes in a wide variety of materials. The point ejects the chips ahead of the tap, eliminating chip disposal problems and thread damage. Shallower flutes also result in greater tap core strength allowing for higher cutting speeds.
Plug Style
(3 to 5 thread chamfer) is the most common chamfer used for tapping applications in through holes and blind holes with sufficient bottom clearance.
CNC Reduced Neck Design
enhances chip evacuation and cutting fluid flow to the cutting teeth for reduced friction, heat and galling. Also reduces contact between the tap and the work piece.
Steam Oxide over Nitride
features a hard abrasive resistant Nitride Base for enhanced tool life in abrasive materials including cast iron. Steam Oxide surface treatment reduces friction, loading and galling, helps retain cutting fluids, improves thread quality and extends tool life.
