    Remove long, stringy chips to produce cleaner threads than standard taps. The flute design prevents buildup to protect the quality of the threads and avoid damage to the tap. Since you don’t need to reverse these taps to extract chips, they also create threads faster.

    High-Speed SteelThe most versatile taps resist heat and wear to stay sharp. They’re good for most metals and plastic.

    Titanium Nitride (TiN) CoatedRun at higher speeds and last twice as long as uncoated taps.

    Spiral Flute for Blind HolesPull chips back toward the tap so they won't build up in blind holes. When tapping brittle material like iron that creates fine or powdery debris, choose a straight-flute tap.

    Plug ChamferOur go-to chamfer type. With a longer taper than a bottoming chamfer, they are easier to turn but won't thread as close the bottom of a hole.
