Choosing a tap
Start with the thread: metric, imperial or pipe, then the size and pitch in the product title. Next, the tap style: hand taps for hand tapping, spiral point for through holes on a machine, spiral flute for blind holes on a machine, and thread forming where the product is listed for forming rather than cutting. Check the product page for the material and application. The Tap & Drill Size Chart gives the drill size to use before tapping. Our guides cover the main decisions: tap and die selection, tap types, tap drill sizes, tap wrenches, cutting fluids and removing a broken tap. Always check the product page for the specification and application before you order.
