Threading is often the last operation in a component, and the last thing manufacturers want is for the tap to break. Finally, staggered coolant holes offer excellent coolant flow into the thread-forming zone and a safe forming process. In a production process, tapping can be a bottleneck, and increased productivity is often a demand.
