Thanks Homeengineer, I do prefer the spiral taps most of the time, they cut with so much less force. However most of mine are standard 3 or 4 flute taps.
I have used them for "power tapping" but the spirals are soooooo much better.
Actually spiral tap fits names the tap a lot better than "gun tap". Over on this side of the pond they seem to be called by both names. Why they are called "gun taps" is not known by me but I am sure someone knows!
Cheers, JR
