Drill America Spiral-Pointed Taps. Spiral-Pointed taps (also called machine taps) help solve the problem of tap breakage in through hole tapping. Spiral pointed tap shoot chips ahead of the cutting action, thus reducing loading and clogging in the flutes. They are recommended for use in through or blind holes and ideal for threading a wide variety of ductile materials, copper and copper alloys, brass and non-metallics. Hand Taps are the most versatile taps for hand use or for tapping under power. Hand threading tap is popular for use in general machine tapping or CNC tapping. This is also appropriate for tapping the vast majority of materials in through or blind holed conditions.

Much easier to use than the three flute variety I had been using. However, one needs to be careful to ensure the tap is going into the hole straight. It’s easy to cut the threads at an angle.

I had a selfie stick whose battery died. I wanted to salvage the rotating head to use on my hiking pole, which has a 1/4” camera mount on top. I was able to use this tap to create threads in the plastic base of the selfie stick head. Tap worked fine with the plastic base.
