Taper-chamfer taps have 7-10 chamfered threads at the tip for cutting into the workpiece. They require less torque than other chamfer types, making them a good choice for starting threads and tapping through holes. However, a longer taper means that they cannot thread as close to the bottom of closed-end holes.

Plug-chamfer taps are a versatile choice for most tapping applications. With 3-5 chamfered cutting threads, they require moderate torque and are often used for start-to-finish tapping of through holes and closed-end holes. However, they do not start threads as easily as taper chamfers. When using them to tap closed-end holes, be sure to leave sufficient space at the bottom for chips to accumulate.

Bottoming-chamfer taps cut into the workpiece with just 1-2 chamfered threads. This short chamfer lets them thread holes closer to the bottom than other taps, but they require more torque to start threads.

These taps are solid carbide with an aluminum-titanium-nitride (AlTiN) coating for high strength and excellent wear resistance. Use them on hard and abrasive material, such as heat-treated metal, nickel, and fiberglass. The extreme hardness of carbide taps means they are brittle, so they’re not recommended for hand tapping. A highly rigid setup, such as a CNC machine, is necessary to prevent the tap from breaking.
