Tungsten carbide spiral pointed tap is also known as EX-POT, mainly used in borehole and deep thread machining, and is of high intensity and cutting speed, long service life, stable dimension and clear threads (especially fine pitch threads). Generally, it has the same straight groove as the straight flute tap, and is a kind of its deformation. In the front part of tungsten carbide spiral pointed taps, there is a helical groove specially designed which can squeeze chip out of the hole with the help of rotation and at the same time avoid tap demage caused by cutting conjection. That is why tungsten carbide spiral pointed taps have higher cutting speed than straight flute taps in high precision threads processing.

Tungsten carbide spiral tap has larger core and higher intensity and thus can withstand higher cutting force. It performs well in non-ferrous metal, stainless steel and ferrous metal processing. In the borehole processing, spiral pointed tap should be applied with priority.
