They differ from standard hand or machine taps in two ways: a much longer shank (so cut nuts can travel up the tap and clear of the work), and a geometry optimised for continuous powered tapping rather than the start-stop rhythm of hand work.

Where the application demands it, HSS-E (cobalt) and surface-treated taps can be sourced for tougher materials and higher cutting speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTap selection advice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor nut tapping, the chip evacuation pattern is the spec to watch. Spiral-point taps push chips ahead of the cut (good for through-holes), spiral-flute taps lift chips back out (better for blind holes), and straight-flute taps suit shorter chips in cast and free-machining materials. Get the chip pattern right and tap life follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpiral-point versus straight-flute nut taps\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chip evacuation pattern is the spec to watch on production nut tapping. Spiral-point (gun) taps push chips ahead of the cut — perfect for through-holes, which is what nut blanks always are. Straight-flute taps eject chips both ways — more general-purpose but slower in pure production work. For dedicated nut tapping, spiral-point is usually the better choice; straight-flute earns its place where the same tap also handles short-run work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpeed and feed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction nut tapping runs faster than hand tapping — typical surface speeds are 15-25 m\/min for HSS taps in mild steel, with feed locked to the thread pitch (one full revolution per pitch advance). Tapping fluid reaches the cut at every revolution, either flooded or via mist coolant. Get speed, feed, and lubrication right and tap life can run into thousands of nuts per tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNeed help sourcing a specific size?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're running a less common metric fine pitch, or need bulk ordering for a production line, \u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact our team\u003c\/a\u003e — we can source on request and price by volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"goliath-mc-taper-machine-nut-hss-tap","title":"Goliath MC Taper Machine Nut HSS Tap","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"max-width:680px;width:100%;padding:12px 0;font-family:Arial,sans-serif\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:grid;grid-template-columns:1fr 1fr 1fr;gap:12px;margin-bottom:24px\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:0 16px 0 0;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:#333\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e◆\u003c\/strong\u003e HSS Bright Finish Metric Coarse Machine Nut Taper Tap\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:0 16px 0 0;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:#333\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e●\u003c\/strong\u003e Alternatively, the Intermediate and Bottoming leads are\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:0 16px 0 0;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;color:#333\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e▲\u003c\/strong\u003e To ensure easy and precise use the Machine Nut Tap Taper\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:14px;color:#444;line-height:1.7;margin:0\"\u003eHSS Bright Finish Metric Coarse Machine Nut Taper Tap.
