Frequently Asked Questions
What is the WIDIA GTD spiral flute tap used for?
The WIDIA GTD spiral flute tap is designed for threading blind holes in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Its spiral flute design evacuates chips upward, preventing clogging. The semi-bottoming chamfer allows threading close to the bottom of the hole, making it ideal for general-purpose tapping in manufacturing and maintenance applications.
