Selecting the right option

Select the insert tap by thread standard (metric or UNC) and style — taper for starting, intermediate for continuing, bottoming for threading to the bottom. Recoil insert taps are cut to the correct oversize diameter for Recoil inserts — do not substitute general-purpose taps. Use the taper tap first, then the bottoming tap if threading a blind hole.
