    Spiral-Point Flute for Through Holes

    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 form threads faster.
    High-Speed Steel—The most versatile taps resist heat and wear to stay sharp. They’re good for most metals and plastic.
    Uncoated—The economical choice, these won't last as long as coated taps.
    Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coated—Run at higher speeds and last twice as long as uncoated taps.
    Titanium Carbon Nitride (TiCN) Coated—Resist heat, chipping, and wear for three times the life of uncoated taps.
    Spiral-Point Flute for Through Holes—Push chips ahead of the tap and out of through holes. Also known as gun taps.
