The main features and purpose of a tap bit are:
Sizing: The tap bit is sized to match the diameter and thread specification of the tap that will be used. This ensures the proper fit and thread engagement.
Pilot Hole Creation: The tap bit is used to drill a pilot hole in the workpiece that is slightly smaller than the final thread diameter. This pilot hole helps guide the tap and prevents cracking or breaking the workpiece material.
Material Removal: As the tap bit drills the pilot hole, it removes material from the workpiece, creating a clearance for the tap to form the internal threads.
Alignment: The tap bit helps ensure the pilot hole is properly aligned and centered, which is crucial for the tap to create uniform and concentric threads.
Common characteristics of tap bits include:
Diameter: The tap bit diameter matches the major diameter of the corresponding tap.
Flutes: Spiral grooves that allow chip clearance and coolant flow during drilling.
Point Angle: Typically a 118-135 degree point angle for general purpose applications.
Coatings: Coatings like titanium nitride can improve tool life and performance.
Shank: May have a straight, tapered, or stepped shank to fit different tool holders.
