The flute geometry is designed to push the chips ahead of the cutting action, down into the hole, which prevents chips from loading up the flutes.Spiral Flute:These taps are used for threading blind holes in aluminum, brass, and softer steels, and when chip clearing can be an issue. The flute geometry draws the chips upward, out of the hole.Through-Tool Coolant (Coolant Fed) Taps:These taps have internal passages that allow coolant to flow through the tool, directly to the cutting edge, for high-efficiency processing and deep-hole tapping. When used with high-pressure through-spindle coolant systems, these taps provide better chip evacuation, less tool wear, longer tool life, shorter cycle times, and better overall thread quality.Receive Free Next-Day Delivery with Winners Circle| 37'
