Taper Chamfer for Smooth Thread Starts

Designed for Control and Alignment

These taper taps feature a long chamfer (7–10 threads), allowing for gradual cutting and easier hand alignment. The straight flute geometry provides balanced cutting action and efficient chip clearance, reducing torque and minimizing the risk of breakage.

• Ideal for through-hole threading

• Smooth starts with reduced cutting pressure

• Excellent chip evacuation for cleaner threads

Bright Finish for Clean Cutting

Enhanced Chip Flow in Softer Materials

The bright finish on these taps improves chip flow and prevents material build-up on the cutting edge. It’s especially useful when tapping softer materials like aluminum, mild steel, plastic, and wood, helping ensure cleaner, more consistent threads.

• Improves chip removal in soft metals and plastics

• Reduces material sticking and galling

• Provides better surface finishes inside threads
