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 workpiece
Premium powder metallurgy high speed steel premium steel engineered for hardness, wear resistance, tool, heat resistance, toughness and strength, performance under difficult cutting conditions, higher cutting speeds, increased productivity
TiCN - titanium carbonitride coating increases wear resistance, reduces friction and galling, reduces tapping torque, improves thread quality and allows increased cutting speeds for greatly increased productivity and tool life
