Wire
Insert Hand Taps |
|
Parallel fluted hand taps are the most commonly
used type of wire insert tap. The term 'hand tap' was originally
applied to this type as they were only suitable for hand tapping.
However, modern WTI hand taps, due to much improved manufacturing
techniques, are also suitable for machine tapping.
