High Speed Steel page 216
Spiral point taps are ideal for machine tapping through holes or blind holes with adequate bottom clearance. They are called "Gun Taps" because they shoot the chips ahead of the tap. This also reduces loading and clogging in the flutes.

Solid Carbide page 217A
Micrograin Solid Carbide Spiral Point Taps are designed for machine tapping through holes or blind holes in difficult to machine materials and tough work hardening metals, such as stainless steel, titanium alloys, Inconel, powdered metals, cast iron, plastics, and steels up to Rockwell hardness C45. Used whenever high speed steel spiral point taps cannot handle the job. Solid Carbide Spiral Point Taps have a plug chamfer and must have a rigid setup for use. Do not use for hand tapping.
Cobalt page 217
Cobalt Spiral Point Taps are designed for tapping difficult applications
such as heat treated steels up to 45 RC, tool steels, and other tough alloys.

+.005 Oversize Taps page 217
Oversize Spiral Point Taps are used primarily where a piece will be plated or heat treated after tapping. They are also used when tapping plastics or zinc alloys where it is difficult to maintain the proper tapped hole size because of abrasion or shrinkage.
Cobalt (CNC) page 217
Cobalt CNC Spiral Point Taps are designed for tapping difficult applications
such as heat treated steels up to 45 RC, tool steels, and other tough alloys.
The were specifically developed for use on CNC equipment.
Screw Thread Insert page 215
Screw Thread Insert Spiral Point Taps are oversize taps designed to produce threads that will accommodate a helical coil wire screw thread insert.
Extension Taps page 217
Spiral Point Extension Taps are designed for deep hole tapping where the work requires an undercut shank to follow through hole.
Pulley Taps page 218
Spiral Point Pulley Taps are used for tapping the hubs of pulleys for oil caps or set screws. The long shank is also ideal for reaching holes inaccessible with standard length taps. Thread length is the same length as a standard hand tap.
