Sharp Cutting Straight Flute Tap- Perfect for Manual and Machine Tapping
Designed for high-precision threading, this straight flute tap features sharp, wear-resistant cutting edges that deliver smooth performance in both manual and low-speed machine operations. Made from premium high-speed steel (HSS), it offers excellent hardness, heat resistance, and edge retention- ideal for consistent, long-term use in industrial environments.
The straight flute geometry ensures controlled chip evacuation, reducing clogging and maintaining cutting stability. It performs reliably in both through-hole and shallow blind hole applications, across materials such as carbon steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, and other non-ferrous metals.
Well-suited for workshop use, on-site maintenance, and production tasks, this tap provides clean, precise threads with minimal risk of misalignment or surface damage. Whether used by hand or with tapping machines, it guarantees sharp, accurate cutting and dependable results in every cycle.
Optimized for Manual and Low-Speed Machine Tapping
Engineered for smooth performance in both hand-operated and low-RPM machine applications, this tap is ideal for threading tasks in workshops, production environments, and maintenance stations. It offers excellent control for manual use while delivering steady results when used with tapping machines or drill presses.
Sharp Straight Flute Design for Efficient Chip Evacuation
The straight flute geometry ensures precise chip removal, supporting smooth thread cutting and reducing the chance of clogging. This design enhances threading efficiency and surface finish in through-holes and shallow blind holes-especially in hard materials like steel and cast iron.
High-Speed Steel Construction for Long-Lasting Sharpness
Made from premium-grade HSS, this tap maintains its cutting edge under frequent use and elevated temperatures. It resists wear and abrasion when working on tough metals such as carbon steel, aluminum, and brass, making it a durable choice for high-duty tasks.
Clean, Accurate Threading for Demanding Workflows
With finely ground cutting edges, the tap delivers clean, accurate internal threads with minimal tolerance deviation. It minimizes the risk of thread misalignment or deformation, making it suitable for precision-critical operations in mechanical repairs, equipment servicing, and industrial fabrication.
Offered in M3 to M12 (or up to M27) metric sizes, this tap caters to a wide variety of industrial needs, including machinery production, automotive repairs, equipment installations, and custom part fabrication.
Ideal for Both Manual and Low-Speed Machine Tapping
Specifically designed for versatility, this straight flute tap performs exceptionally in manual operations while remaining fully compatible with low-RPM machines and drill presses. It offers stable, controlled cutting for a range of tasks-from workshop use to industrial applications.
Sharp Cutting Edges for Clean, Consistent Threads
The precision-ground cutting edges ensure fast, smooth entry into the material and reduce cutting resistance. Whether you're threading steel, cast iron, or non-ferrous metals, the sharp geometry delivers cleaner threads with less effort and minimal risk of damage.
Straight Flute Design for Efficient Chip Evacuation
The straight flute structure facilitates effective chip removal during cutting, reducing clogging and heat buildup. This results in smoother operation and helps maintain thread integrity, particularly in through-holes and shallow blind holes.
High-Speed Steel for Long-Lasting Durability
Crafted from premium HSS, this tap offers outstanding wear resistance and thermal stability. It's built to withstand frequent industrial use and maintain cutting sharpness even under tough working conditions-making it a smart, cost-effective investment.
Precision Results for Professional Applications
Ideal for demanding tasks such as machinery maintenance, custom part assembly, and fabrication work, this tap produces accurate internal threads with minimal tolerance variation. It's a reliable tool for applications where precision matters.

1. What materials can this sharp cutting tap thread effectively?
This high-speed steel (HSS) straight flute tap is engineered for clean, precise threading in a variety of metals-including steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, and other non-ferrous alloys. Its sharp cutting edges ensure smooth, efficient performance in both workshop and industrial repair settings.
2. Is this tap suitable for both manual and machine-assisted tapping?
Yes. While primarily designed for manual use, this tap is fully compatible with low-RPM tapping machines or drill presses that accommodate hand taps. It offers flexibility for bench work, maintenance tasks, and production applications that require accuracy and stability.
3. How can I maintain cutting sharpness and prolong tool life?
To keep your tap in peak condition:
Clean after each use to remove chips and cutting debris.
Lightly oil the tap before storage to protect against rust and reduce surface wear.
Store properly in a dry, protected case or holder to avoid damage from moisture or impact.
Avoid excessive torque during use-especially in manual tapping-to preserve the cutting edges and prevent chipping.
