Spiral Flute Taps

Spiral Flute Taps for Clean Blind Hole Threads

Spiral flute taps are designed to cut internal threads in blind holes while lifting chips out of the hole during the cutting process. The spiral design helps reduce clogging and improves thread accuracy when working with materials such as aluminum, mild steel, and other softer metals. For threading through-holes where chips are pushed forward during cutting, spiral point taps provide another efficient option for many machining tasks.

These tools are commonly used in applications where chip removal and thread accuracy are important. For general-purpose threading across a wide range of metals, straight flute taps remain a widely used choice. For specialized applications involving mechanical assemblies, pulley taps are designed for creating threads used in pulley and belt-driven systems. Fast shipping and free shipping on orders over $99!
