Select a WIDIA GTD tap based on thread size, pitch, material, and hole type. For blind holes, use spiral flute taps like the VTSFT-TC5054 to evacuate chips. For through holes, spiral point taps are preferred. Match the tap tolerance (e.g., H11) to the required thread class. Consult WIDIA GTD technical data for material-specific speeds and feeds.
