Spiral Point Plug Taps
Spiral point plug taps are specialized tapping tools designed for creating internal threads in through holes, characterized by their spiral flutes that enhance chip removal during the tapping process. This design reduces the risk of clogging and overheating, promoting smoother operations and maintaining a clean working area. As plug taps, they have a shorter lead taper that allows for quick threading and good alignment in the hole. Commonly used in metalworking applications on materials like steel and aluminum, spiral point plug taps are typically made from high-speed steel (HSS) or cobalt for durability. They are versatile tools compatible with various tapping machines, making them essential for efficiently creating internal threads in machining and manufacturing processes.
