Spiral TAPS FAQ
Q: What’s the difference between spiral flute and spiral point taps?
A: Spiral flute taps eject chips upward, ideal for blind holes. Spiral point (gun nose) taps push chips forward, best for through holes.
Q: How do I select the right coating for my application?
A: TiN (general purpose), TiCN (harder materials), TiAlN (high-temperature alloys). Consult our guide for specifics.
Q: Can spiral taps be used in CNC machines?
A: Absolutely! Their design reduces axial force, making them perfect for CNC, drill presses, and hand tapping.
