FAQ

Q: What is the difference between a straight flute tap and a spiral flute tap?

A: Straight flute taps and spiral flute taps are both used for creating internal threads, but they excel in different applications due to their flute designs. Straight flute taps are generally preferred for through holes (where the tap goes all the way through the material) and are known for their strength and ability to create accurate threads.

Q: Can straight flute taps be used for blind holes?

A: Absolutely. But reverse the tap periodically to clear the chips—especially in deeper holes. That’s how you get clean threads.

Q: What materials can straight flute taps be used on?

A: Straight flute taps are designed for use on all kinds of materials—steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass. With high-speed steel construction, they’re built to handle anything.

Q: How do I prevent chip buildup in straight flute taps?

A: Easy. Reverse the tap every few turns and use a good cutting fluid. It’s that simple.

Q: What type of fluted tap is stronger?

A: Straight flute taps are tough and precise but struggle with chip evacuation. Spiral flute taps are faster and better for blind holes but may slightly affect thread accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary to understand each one's use first to save time and improve thread quality.

Q: How to ensure product quality?

A: Rototype samples are manufactured in full compliance with customer specifications. Bulk production is initiated upon written sample approval. A pre-shipment quality inspection (including dimensional/functional checks) is mandatorily conducted to verify adherence to agreed specifications.
