Torpedo Series-5

Spiral Point Taps - Torpedo Series

+91-8777212335

Short Description

Watch a spiral point tap cut through a through hole and you'll notice something the name doesn't quite explain, the chips don't collect anywhere near the cutting edge. They get pushed forward, out the far side of the hole, thanks to an angled cutting face ground into the tip. That's the whole idea behind this style of tap, sometimes called a gun tap because of how the chips shoot out ahead of it. The Torpedo Series is built on that same principle, with straight flutes and a shallow flute depth that adds core strength while keeping chip flow moving in the right direction. Genuine Enterprises manufactures these spiral point taps for production environments where speed and consistency on through-hole threading matter.

  • Material: manufactured from high speed steel for consistent cutting performance.
  • Grades: offered in standard HSS and cobalt HSS-E for tougher alloys and stainless steel.
  • Thread Type: covers Metric Coarse and Metric Fine, with UNC and UNF available on request.
  • Size Range: produced from M2 to M24, with special sizes on inquiry.
  • Surface Finish: supplied bright or with TiN and TiCN coatings for extended tool life.
  • Standards Compliance: geometry follows DIN 371 and DIN 376 specifications.
  • Point Angle: ground with a spiral point angle that directs chips forward, away from the cutting zone.

Key Features

  • Angled cutting face pushes chips forward and out through the hole
  • Straight flutes allow steady coolant and lubricant flow to the cutting edge
  • Shallower flute depth increases core strength and reduces breakage risk
  • Built for through-hole tapping on CNC and manual machines alike
  • Runs at higher tapping speeds compared to spiral flute taps
  • Polished flute surface reduces friction during cutting
  • Available in bottoming and plug point configurations
  • Sized to standard metric drill charts for accurate hole matching

Applications of Spiral Point Taps - Torpedo Series

  • Threading through holes in mild steel components
  • Tapping structural brackets and mounting plates
  • Producing threaded holes in aluminium enclosures and panels
  • Working on stainless steel components in CNC production runs
  • Threading fixture and jig components in tooling manufacture
  • Creating threaded holes in brass and copper fittings
  • Tapping flanges and connection points in fabricated assemblies
  • Producing through-hole threads in automotive body components
  • Working on machine frame panels and covers
  • Threading general fabrication parts across high-volume production lines

Advantages of Spiral Point Taps - Torpedo Series

  • Keeps chips clear of the cutting zone, reducing flute clogging
  • Supports faster tapping speeds than spiral flute alternatives
  • Reduces tap breakage through added core strength
  • Produces consistent thread quality across long production runs
  • Lowers cutting torque, easing load on tapping equipment
  • Well suited to automated, high-volume through-hole tapping

Why Choose Genuine Enterprises

Through-hole tapping at volume tends to expose weaknesses in a tap fairly quickly, whether that's chip packing, inconsistent thread depth, or premature wear. The Torpedo Series is built to hold up under that kind of repeated use, with point geometry and flute depth checked against DIN specifications before any batch ships. Genuine Enterprises tests chip evacuation performance across different materials so the tap behaves the same way it did in the trial run once it's on the shop floor.

 

Manufacturers comparing options from a spiral point taps supplier in India often run into inconsistent coatings or point angles between batches, which shows up as unpredictable chip flow on the line. Genuine Enterprises manufactures its own tooling, which keeps point geometry consistent order after order, so a size that worked well last month performs the same way this month.

1.Can spiral point taps be used in blind holes? 

No, they're designed for through holes since the chips are pushed forward and need somewhere to exit.

2. Why are spiral point taps faster than spiral flute taps? 

Because chips are pushed clear of the cutting zone instead of collecting in the flutes, which allows higher tapping speeds without clogging.

3. Are these taps suitable for stainless steel? 

Yes, the cobalt HSS-E grade is recommended for stainless steel and other tougher alloys.

4. What's the difference between bottoming and plug point taps in this series? 

Plug point taps have a longer chamfer for general use, while bottoming taps have a shorter chamfer for threading closer to the base of a through hole.

5. Do these taps require a coated finish for production use? 

Not always. Bright finish works for lower-volume jobs, while TiN or TiCN coatings are better suited to sustained high-volume tapping.
