Type of tap Torque line Description

PO

Plateau is observed since whole chamfer threads 5P enter the workpiece material. Straight fl uted tap ST Plateau is also observed since whole short chamfer 1.5P threads enter the workpiece material. Tapping (1.5 threads) process time is shorter than that of the 5P tap.

ROLL

Spiral fl uted tap pulls out the chips, good choice Spiral fl uted tap (2.5 threads) for blind hole tapping. The cutting torque of spiral fl uted taps is lower than that of the hand taps.

CARBIDE

Spiral pointed tap pushes out the chips forward. It is good choice for through hole use. Cutting Spiral pointed tap (5 threads) torque is the smallest among the diff erent tap shapes. LONG The cutting torque changes depending on the kind of taps, cutting chamfer, number of fl utes, workpiece materials and their hardness, lubrication types, and chips.
