Product Description
The WJ HSS Hand Tap American HT is the traditional straight flute tap - straight grooves, usable by hand or machine, and the tool most people simply call a hand tap. Chip handling is what separates it from spiral flute and spiral point taps: straight grooves push chips in neither direction, so they stay in the flute and you break them by reversing and working in stages. In exchange you get a stronger cutting portion, a lower price, and a tap that works in both through and blind holes - and is the best choice for hand work; for a three-piece set choose the three-piece hand tap set HT; for machine tapping of blind holes use the standard spiral flute tap SFT; for machine tapping of through holes use the standard spiral point tap POT; when the tap cannot reach, choose (metric only) the long shank straight flute tap LHT. Substrate HSS, uncoated, rated to HRC30. It cuts both American UNC coarse and UNF fine threads, in sizes covering nominal size #4~1", 16 variants. Made in Taiwan. Why use a straight flute tap by hand? Hand tapping is slow and torque is judged by feel, and the strong straight-flute cutting portion is the least likely to snap. Is one tap enough? A single tap is usually the second (plug) tap; to reach the bottom of a blind hole or start from bare stock, work through a three-piece set - taper, plug and bottoming. Typical applications: hand tapping and thread chasing, threaded holes in maintenance work, and general tapping of both through and blind holes.
