The spiral point (gun tap) design pushes chips ahead of the cutting edge into through-holes, preventing chip packing and enabling higher feed rates in production environments. This plug-style chamfer (3–5 thread taper) allows the tap to start and cut in a single operation, making it well-suited for CNC tapping, vertical machining centers, and hand tapping of through-holes in steel, aluminum, cast iron, and similar machinable materials. The 12-24 NC thread form conforms to ANSI\/ASME B1.1 Unified Inch screw thread standards; the recommended tap drill size for 75% thread engagement is a #16 drill (0.177 in). Imported by Clarkson-Osborn under the Gold Wizard brand line, this tap ships new in its original red plastic case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3
