Taper Taps

Taper Taps for Starting Threading Applications

Taper taps are designed to start internal threads smoothly while keeping the tap aligned with the hole. Their gradual cutting edge reduces resistance during the first stages of threading, making them useful for repair, fabrication, and maintenance work across many materials. As part of a wider range of taps, they help create accurate thread starts before other tap styles continue the cut.

Once threads are started, plug taps are commonly used to continue cutting deeper into the hole and refine the thread shape. For shops that need multiple sizes and styles ready for different tasks, tap sets provide a convenient way to keep essential threading tools organized and ready for service.
