About Taps
Taps are used to form or cut female threads on the inside of holes. There are three types of hand taps: rougher, plug tap (intermediate), and bottoming tap (finisher). A tap is a screw-like tool which has threads and three or four flutes cut across the thread. The edges of the thread formed by the flutes are the cutting edges. The lower part of the tap is somewhat tapered so that it can dig into the walls of the drill hole. The upper part of a tap consists of a shank ending in a square for folding the tap by a tap wrench. A tap wrench is a two-handled wrench that is either fixed or adjustable. Adjustable wrenches may be used with various size taps.
