Plug Taps

Plug Taps for General-Purpose Thread Cutting

Plug taps are designed for versatile internal thread cutting across a wide range of materials, including steel, aluminum, and plastics. In broader threading setups, thread-forming taps are often used for softer materials where forming threads without cutting is preferred. A moderate taper helps guide the tap into the hole while producing accurate threads for bolts and fasteners during repair, fabrication, and assembly work.

For through-hole applications that require efficient chip movement, spiral point taps are a practical alternative. In blind holes where chip evacuation is critical, spiral flute taps help maintain cleaner cuts. Count on JB Tools' fast shipping and free shipping on orders over $99. Shop now.
