Machine Tools

Drill Point Drills - Straight Shank

These are straight flute general purpose taps which can be used for both machine or hand tapping. They are generally the most economical tool for use on production runs, but are best on materials that produce chips, or where the swarf breaks readily. Where deep holes are to be tapped, in materials which produce stringy snarf, other types of taps may be needed, especially for coarse threads.
