How Our Score Is Calculated

Product Description

Steel tools with high speed are excellent for general-purpose applications. They are tough and hard to wear, and are usually well suited for general-purpose tasks
By treating the tools with black oxide, they become lubricious and create small pockets of coolant on the surface, where the cutting edge is.
Having a round shank makes it possible to use virtually any tool holding system
If a spiral fluted tool is used counterclockwise (right hand cut), it evacuates chips from up and out of the cut to minimize
The thread length should be 5 inches

Questions & Answers

This object has a "square end", according to its description. How is the back end? Does it come to a point, or does it have a guide hole ("dimple") on the back so the spring center can be located here?

A spring center can be inserted into the hole as per the instruction manual

An excellent production tab for a low per hole cost
5/5

The helix form of this power tap compares well to OSG, but it is priced much lower. I have found it to be very responsive with my 1018 material. As far as tap magic lube goes, I use it. A good tap pulls chips out of holes well, and the short Lead-in allows the drilling of deep blind holes without the usual problems that may arise from different cutting forms.

The product is of excellent quality
5/5

The tap seems to be working pretty well. This bottom tap has been used for tapping blind holes in aluminum round bars. It works great for me! I'm not sure how well it will work on harder materials but it works great for me!.

I love how fast and easy it is! Cutting stainless steel fast and ejecting it in four tiny spirals without clogging, it cuts stainless steel hard and fast

So far, this has been a great tap
5/5

Everything seems to be going well so far. The following is an example. A 250" deep blind that is 10" wide A hole in 6061 aluminum is 32 mm in diameter. Chips were nicely pulled up with this tap and the cut was perfect. A follow-up review will be made after I have completed more work.

This spiral flute tap is great
5/5

Spiral flute taps like this are very uncommon! My experience with it is great! I used it both on aluminum and mild steel!
Keep in mind to use plenty of lube and to go slowly. A mini lathe is what I'm using it for.

Whenever I use this tap, I love it
5/5

My series of tapped holes has topped a dozen so far, and I will never use straight fluted taps again. Cutting is easier, chips are easier to clear, everything is much simpler. If you try one, you'll regret not trying more.
