I need to get some HSS taps and have had some questions about taps for awhile now so I thought I'd get them answered.

  1. What makes a hand tap a "hand" tap versus any other type of tap?
  2. What's the purpose of taps with the different numbers of flutes? I've seen taps with from 2 to 4 flutes.
  3. Can a so called hand tap be used for power tapping?
  4. Are coated taps worth the extra money?

Thanks,
Ed
