HSS machine tap spiral point (gun tap) designed for high-speed through-hole threading in production environments. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, preventing chip congestion and ensuring clean, efficient cutting in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and engineering alloys. Available in uncoated, TiN (Titanium Nitride), and TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride) coated variants for extended tool life and superior surface finish across Metric, Metric Fine, UNC, and UNF thread standards.
HSS Machine Taps - Spiral Point for Through-Hole Threading
The spiral point machine tap, also known as a gun tap, is engineered for high-speed threading of through-holes in CNC and manual machining operations. Its distinctive chip-driving flute angle pushes swarf ahead of the cutting action, eliminating chip packing and reducing torque requirements. This design makes it the preferred choice for production threading in automotive, aerospace, marine, and general engineering applications where cycle time and thread quality are critical.
Our HSS spiral point taps are manufactured from premium high-speed steel and are available with three surface conditions to match your material and production requirements. Uncoated taps offer an economical solution for general-purpose threading in non-ferrous materials and low-alloy steels. TiN (Titanium Nitride) coated taps provide higher hardness and thermal resistance, reducing built-up edge and extending tool life in ferrous materials. TiCN (Titanium Carbonitride) coated taps deliver superior wear resistance and surface lubricity for demanding applications in high-alloy steels, cast iron, and abrasive materials.
