🔍 Key Concepts

• Types of hand taps: taper tap, plug tap, and bottoming tap • How many threads at the end of each tap are tapered and what that does • Difference between starting a thread and finishing it in a blind hole

💭 Think About

• Which tap shape would make it easiest to line up and start new threads straight in a drilled hole? • If you needed full‑depth threads all the way to the bottom of a blind hole, would you want a long gradual taper or almost full-size threads right to the end? • Which option describes the first step in cutting threads rather than the final step?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match taper tap with the operation done at the beginning of threading, not the end • Think about whether a taper tap actually makes a tapered thread in the hole or just helps start a standard thread • Consider which choice describes work done specifically in a blind hole (bottom not open) and ask if that’s the normal role of a taper tap
