The tungsten carbide straight flute tap is typically used in the thread machining of engine lathes, drilling machines and tapping machines, with a relatively low cutting speed.It performs well in the machining of high hardness materials and materials easier to cause tool damage, and powdery materials cutting.

The tungsten carbide straight flute tap has widest universality. It can process both non-ferrous metal and ferrous metal. However, this characteristic is also companied by the downside of being able to doing many things, but being not particularly good at something. It may possess two, four, or six teeth in the cutting part. Short taps are used in blind holes, while long taps in through holes. As long as the bottom hole is deep enough, longer tap should be applied as far as possible, because if there are more teeth to share cutting load, there will be longer tool life.
