Threading holes with a thread forming tap is a cold forming process accomplished without cutting. Threads produced by forming taps are stronger than conventional cut threads because of the work hardening effect. There are no chips and no cutting edges to become dull and breakdown, therefore tap breakage is minimized. Chipless tapping also eliminates the sometimes costly process of chip removal from the threaded work. Thread forming taps permit faster tapping speeds.
