Spiral Point Taps

We are worldwide Supplier of Spiral Point Taps, also known as ‘Gun Nose’ or ‘Bull Nose’. These taps are dimensionally the same as a hand tap, second lead, but have the cutting face ground back relative to the axis of the tap, for the lead portion. This gives the flute a better cutting action and requires less power. These Taps are ideal for machine tapping through holes or blind holes, where there is enough clearance beyond the threaded portion. Cutting Torque is of all cutting Taps. Numerous performance enhancing coatings are available for Spiral Point Taps.

It’s the strongest chip-cutting tap and is mainly used in through-holes only. Spiral Fluted Tap pulls the chips out of the hole toward the tap shank and opposite of the tapping direction.

NOTE: Available in Standard and Non - Standard sizes and dimensions as required by the customer.

Designed for Performance, Accuracy, and Long Tool Life

Spiral Point Taps are engineered with a specially ground cutting edge that directs chips forward and out of the hole. This design prevents chip clogging, significantly improves cutting efficiency, and ensures consistent thread formation even during high-speed and automated tapping operations.
Manufactured from premium HSS, HSS-E, or cobalt-enriched steel, these taps deliver superior toughness, heat resistance, and wear performance. This material choice ensures excellent durability under demanding machining conditions, especially when tapping alloy steels, carbon steels, and tougher ferrous materials.
Spiral Point Taps are specifically designed for through-hole threading, allowing chips to evacuate cleanly ahead of the cutting zone. This results in smoother operation, reduced tool breakage, and higher productivity in continuous production environments.
Each tap undergoes precision CNC grinding to maintain tight tolerances and consistent thread profiles. This ensures uniform thread depth, accurate pitch, and superior surface finish, making the taps suitable for critical engineering components and precision assemblies.
The robust geometry and premium material allow Spiral Point Taps to operate at higher cutting speeds without compromising performance. This feature significantly reduces cycle times, making them ideal for mass production, CNC machining centers, and automated tapping systems.
Spiral Point Taps are designed to maintain consistent cutting performance over extended production runs. This ensures uniform thread quality across thousands of components, reducing rejection rates and maintaining manufacturing efficiency.
The optimized cutting geometry minimizes torque requirements during tapping. Lower torque not only improves machine efficiency but also reduces stress on both the tool and the workpiece, lowering the risk of tap breakage.
Spiral Point Taps are available in multiple metric, UNC, UNF, and other international standards. This extensive range ensures compatibility with global manufacturing requirements and supports diverse export market demands.
