Norseman Drill & Tool HSS Spiral Point Taps

High-Speed Threading for Tough Materials

Norseman Drill & Tool High Speed Steel (HSS) Spiral Point Taps are engineered for fast, efficient, and precision thread cutting in through-hole applications. Designed and manufactured in the USA, these taps are trusted by machinists, metal fabricators, and maintenance professionals for their durability, accuracy, and consistent performance.

What Are Spiral Point Taps?

Built for High-Speed Production Environments

Spiral point taps—often called "gun taps"—feature a unique flute geometry that pushes chips forward through the hole, preventing chip packing and reducing the risk of breakage. This makes them ideal for high-production tapping in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum.

• Excellent for through-holes

• Reduces backing out and chip recutting

• Enhances tool life and thread finish quality

Made from Premium High-Speed Steel

Engineered for Strength and Wear Resistance

Each Norseman spiral point tap is crafted from high-speed steel, offering superior toughness and heat resistance compared to standard carbon steel taps. HSS allows for longer tool life, better chip control, and the ability to cut harder materials with minimal wear.

• Maintains sharp cutting edges under load

• Withstands high-temperature applications

• Precision-ground for tight tolerances and clean threads
