Re: Fast spiral tap speeds

If you are looking to be able to tap through holes without stopping and reversing the tap to break off the chip, look into spiral point taps. They will drive the chip ahead of the tap and should tap any reasonably ductile material in one shot without reversing. They are also no harder to align than a standard hand tap.
