What are flutes on taps? A groove on taps is required to make room for material removal during tapping. A flute can have different shapes designed for its use, which can cause the material removed to be ejected in a different way. In hand tap sets, all taps are straight fluted. All flute shapes can be found on both cut-in taps and machine taps.

Spiral-flute taps pull chips out and away from the hole as the tap moves into the hole to create threads, which helps prevent chips from packing in the hole. They create internal threads in blind holes and are installed into a toolholder on a machine such as a lathe or CNC machine to operate.

Spiral flute taps feature helical flutes that efficiently channel chips out of the hole during tapping. This design minimizes chip clogging and reduces the risk of tap breakage, particularly in deep hole applications.

Spiral taps are one of the most commonly used taps in the U.S. These taps have flutes that encircle the axis of the tap in a helical (or spiral) manner. Spiral taps are especially important when tapping blind holes (holes that penetrate material partially, not completely).
