Straight Flute Taps

Spiral Pointed Tap Spiral point taps have an angled cutting face that forces material chips out ahead of the cut and a shallower flute passage, giving them more cross-sectional area. This offers greater strength, higher tapping speeds, and less power necessary to drive them.

Plug chamfer hand tap. 3 - 5 incomplete threads before cutting. Used in all types of hand and machine tool operations for ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Ground thread for better surface finish and tighter tolerances. Best used for tapping through holes. Manufactured from high-speed steel. Use for tapping in carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum and non-ferrous materials. Made in the USA.

HSS for added wear resistance & better lubricity of tool surface which increases tool life & productivity. 18 piece set in metal index. Includes the following tap sizes with their corresponding tap drill: (Tap Sizes: 2.5mm x 0.45, 3.0mm x 0.50, 3.5mm x 0.60, 4.0mm x 0.70, 5.0mm x 0.80, 6.0mm x 1.00, 8.0mm x 1.25, 10.0mm x 1.50, 12.0mm x 1.75), (Dill Sizes: 2.05mm, 2.50mm, 2.90mm, 3.30mm, 4.20mm, 5.00mm, 6.70mm, 8.50mm, 10.20mm).

Taper chamfer hand tap. 7 - 10 incomplete threads before cutting. Used in all types of hand and machine tool operations for ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Ground thread for better surface finish and tighter tolerances. Known as a starter tap. Best used for tapping a through hole, but may also be used in a blind hole that has ample clearance at the bottom of the hole. Also, effective when tapping hardened steels. Manufactured from high-speed steel. Use for tapping in carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum and non-ferrous materials. Made in the USA.
