Using ProTap Bottoming Tap Chase Threads on Exhaust Manifold Bolt Repair

One of the key benefits of ProTaps is that ProMAXX Tool can deliver a machine-grade bottoming tap right from the start of the tapping process. This is achievable due to their ProMAXX ProKits, which include guide bushings that ensure perfect alignment of the tap throughout the entire repair process. The guide bushing maintains the tap in the correct position, minimizing the risk of misalignment and resulting in accurate and consistent thread cuts.

Bottoming taps have tapered cutting edges that gradually engage the complete cutting force. This design allows them to cut threads all the way to the bottom of a blind hole, providing a secure and complete connection. While bottoming taps can be challenging to initiate threads with, they are specifically designed for cutting threads in blind holes.
