Taps

Chip-Clearing Taps for Through Holes

Keep chips clear while tapping. Also known as gun taps, these have spiral-point flutes that push chips ahead of the tap and out of through holes.

Left-Hand Chip-Clearing Taps for Through Holes

These taps cut left-hand threads while keeping chips clear.

Long-Reach Chip-Clearing Taps for Through Holes

Clear chips while tapping deep and hard-to-reach holes. These taps have an extra-long shank for extended reach.

Oversize Chip-Clearing Taps for Through Holes

Create oversized threads while keeping chips clear. These taps are sized for use in holes where the threads will shrink due to heat treatment or plating.

Taps for Steel and Stainless Steel

These taps are made of cobalt steel for higher strength and wear resistance than standard taps. Their flutes are designed to keep chips clear, so they don't need to be reversed to prevent buildup.

Taps for Aluminum, Brass, and Plastic

Coated with chromium carbide or titanium carbonitride (TiCN), these cobalt steel taps cut smoothly through soft material to produce accurate threads.

Taps for Titanium

A high helix angle provides the cutting strength needed to tap threads in titanium. These cobalt steel taps have an open flute design that keeps chips clear, so they don't need to be reversed to prevent buildup.

Taps for Nickel

To tap nickel and other hard material, these cobalt steel taps have high cutting strength. Their flutes are designed to keep chips clear, so they don't need to be reversed to prevent buildup.

Pipe and Conduit Thread Taps for Stainless Steel and Plastic

Pipe and Conduit Thread Taps
for Stainless Steel and Plastic

The spiral flutes on these pipe and conduit taps keep chips clear by drawing them back out of the hole, so there's no need to reverse the tap while cutting threads.
