These taps are ideal for blind hole tapping. Cemented Carbide Taps ●These taps cut easily into softer materials. ⑤ ●Intermittent cutting into pilot holes with a keyway or grooves is possible. ●The flute strength is inferior to the HT tap. The HT flute shape is more suitable for high hardness materials. Chip evacuation with a SP tap.
