Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between taper, plug, and bottoming taps?
A taper tap has a gradual cutting chamfer to start threads easily, a plug tap has a shorter chamfer for general threading, and a bottoming tap has a nearly flat chamfer to cut threads to the bottom of a blind hole.
Can these hand taps be used for cutting threads in stainless steel?
Yes, the high-speed steel construction is suitable for stainless steel and other common marine metals. Always use a cutting or tapping fluid to reduce friction and extend tap life.
What sizes are available in this set?
Our UNC hand tap sets come in a range of standard sizes. Please contact our sales team to confirm availability for the specific size you require.
Do I need a special wrench to use these taps?
No, the square drive shank fits standard multi-size tap wrenches commonly found on ships and in machine shops.
