Straight-Flute Taps

Straight-flute taps are essential tools for creating or repairing internal threads in both blind and through holes, commonly referred to as hand taps. Unlike spiral-flute taps, chips accumulate in the flutes without being evacuated during the threading process. Available in various materials, carbide taps excel in hardness and heat resistance, ideal for high-speed operations on tough materials. Powdered-metal taps, known for their durability, are perfect for abrasive materials, while vanadium high-speed steel taps provide superior abrasion and wear resistance. High-speed steel taps are versatile for a wide range of materials, and carbon steel taps are mainly utilized for thread repair tasks.
