Spiral Point 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.

High Speed Steel Ground Threads TMX Fast Spiral Hand Tap with Straight Flutes - available in two chamfer styles: plug chamfer has 3-5 thread chamfer length and bottoming chamfer has 1-2 thread length. # 8 - 32 H2, Fast Sprial, Bottoming Chamfer, HSS TMX Tap, Ground. Fast Spiral Taps move the chip up the flute and away from the cut thus reducing thread damage and double cutting of chips. Recommended for tapping of softer materials that product a stringy type chip

ACME Tandem Tap An ACME Tap combines the initial roughing cut with the final finishing cut in a single pass to achieve an ACME screw thread. Thread pitches are generally coarse relative to diameters, so these taps are subjected to heavy chip loads.
