A tap is a tool used to cut a threaded hole inside a piece of material. There are two types of threads: internal female threads and external male threads. Internal and external threads are combined to fasten pieces of work together.

Taps are tools that most engineers will come across at some point in their careers. Taps bridge multiple industries and are used practically everywhere. It doesn’t matter if you’re working in a machine shop, repairing a thread at home, or creating one from scratch for a prototype; you’ll be expected to know how they work. Taps are so common that countless websites give instructions on how to tap a hole. For additional information regarding the product, please contact with Dubuy support team.
