Original SKC Hand Taps Made in Japan Tapping is the process of cutting a thread inside a hole so that a cap screw or bolt can be threaded into the hole. Also, it is used to make thread on nuts. Tapping can be done on the lathe by power feed or by hand. Regardless of the method, the hole must be drilled with the proper size tap drill and chamfered at the end. ✔️Brand: SKC ✔️Made in Japan ✔️Made from High Grade Steel ✔️Round shank with square end allows tap to be used in hand or power-driven applications ✔️With Plastic Box/Box Types of Taps: ✔️Spiral Pointed Taps These thread taps have a spiral cut with relief grooves. They’re common and look like most of the hand taps you’ll see around. But, the spiral angle on the front cutting edges helps eject the chips and the angled edge also gives superior cutting performance. Hence, they’re really the least expensive thread tap you might consider using for power tapping, and can be run at slightly higher speeds than hand taps. Like hand taps, spiral point taps can be had as a taper tap has a tapered end, or a plug tap (intended for blind holes) has much less taper. ✔️Taper Tap A taper tap has quite a lot of taper to help it ease into cutting threads gradually. Typically, the first 8 to 10 threads are tapered. Taper Taps are the most common types of taps and are typically what you’ll have in a Tap and Die Set. ✔️Bottoming Tap A bottoming tap has almost no taper at the end because it is designed to thread all the way to the bottom of its reach. Only 1 to 1.5 threads will be tapered. Bottoming Taps are useful for threading blind holes. It’s desirable to thread most of the hole with a Taper Tap first, and then finish the bottom of the hole with a Bottoming Tap. ✔️Plug Tap Plug Taps are in between Bottoming and Taper Taps because they have 3-5 threads tapered, which is more than a Bottoming Tap and less than a Taper Tap. Unfortunately, terminology is not always consistent. Some vendors call these “Second Taps” and refer to Bottomin
