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.

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.

Left-Hand Chip-Clearing Taps for Through Holes

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

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.
