Introduction
Choosing the right tap for your application is crucial for achieving optimal machining results. With YG-1’s Prime Taps, you have options like Spiral Flute, Spiral Point, and Forming Taps, each designed for specific needs. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide.

Spiral Flute Taps

  • Best For: Blind holes (where chips can’t fall through).
  • Design Advantage: The spiral design efficiently removes chips upward, preventing clogging in the hole.
  • Ideal Applications: Ductile materials like stainless steel and aluminum.

Spiral Point Taps

  • Best For: Through holes (where chips can escape downward).
  • Design Advantage: Directs chips forward, keeping the machining area clean.
  • Ideal Applications: Faster threading in materials like steel and cast iron.

Forming Taps

  • Best For: Applications requiring high-strength threads.
  • Design Advantage: Instead of cutting, it forms threads by material deformation, resulting in stronger and smoother threads.
  • Ideal Applications: Non-ferrous materials like aluminum and copper alloys.

Why Prime Tap Stands Out
YG-1’s Prime Taps combine advanced X-Coating technology and optimized geometries for unparalleled performance, no matter your tap type. Whether you’re working on high-volume CNC projects or specialty applications, these taps ensure durability and precision.
