Spiral flute taps utilize a helical flute which pulls chips upward evacuating them from the entrance of the hole.Their design makes them ideally suited for blind hole applications.
EXOPRO".cc-sus: Variable helix tap Series for stainless steel
Spiral point taps, also called Gun taps, utilize an additional gash on the front of the tap which redirects chips forward towards the bottom or exit of the hole. Their design makes them ideally suited for through hole applications.
HY-PRO®-AERO-F:Ideal for aerospace fastener applications.
EXOPRO®-Ti Tap: premium tap series for machining titanium alloys
Straight flute taps, also called Handtaps, are designed for short chipping materials, such as cast iron.While their rigid design certainly makes them suitable for hand tapping operations, the straight flute configuration is also ideal for CNC tapping.
EXOTAP®-VCX: Ideal for difficult to Machine materials.
Forming taps, unlike cut taps that remove metal, work by compressing the work material to generate the desired thread. Because no chip is produced, breakage due to chip packing and bird nesting is eliminated. Form taps are ideally suited for both blind & through holes.
EXOPRO®-XPF: Superior thread-forming Tap series.
Pipe taps are used to produce internal threads to meet a variety of standards, including NPr, NPTF, NPS, NPSF and ANPr classifications. Features like helical flutes and interruptions on the tap itself help reduce tapping torque and extend tool life.
HY-PRO® PIPE: Premium and standard pipe Taps for a wide range of materials.
