To my knowledge there is no such thing as a "Chaser" Tap. Of the two shown later in this tread the one with a Blunt nose is a blind hole tap which is used when hole does not go through the material. The point od the tow is used when the hole goes all the way through. Blind hole taps are a little more difficult because they don't center as easily during the start.The correct choice is to use a “chaser” tap. A cutting tap is designed to create new threads, whereas a chaser tap is designed to clean, re-form and restore existing threads.
