Solid carbide taps allow higher metal removal rates through higher speeds.
Superior strength of solid carbide taps is ideally suited to the economic tapping of abrasive 'space age alloys', and nonferrous materials. Where high speed steel taps have a practical top limit of around 35 - 40 HRC before tap life becomes severely limited, carbide is often used in materials with hardness up to 65 HRC).
Dramatic increase in tap life, with less downtime through fewer tool changes.

Matter of Perspective
I know twin brothers named John and Joe Jones. John is married and Joe is single. Joe owned an old dilapidated boat.
On the same day John's wife died and Joe's boat sank.
A few days later a kindly old lady met Joe on the street and mistook him for his brother John and said "Oh, Mr. Jones, I was so sorry to hear of your great loss. You must feel just terrible."
Joe replied, "Well, I'm not a bit sorry it happened. She was a rather old thing from the start. Her bottom was all chewed up and she smelled of dead fish. Ever since I got her she made water faster than anything I ever saw. She had a bad crack in back and pretty big hole in the front and the hole kept getting bigger every time I used her.
Four of my friends came into town looking for a good time and asked if I would rent her to them. Well, I warned them that she wasn't so hot but they said they would take a crack at her anyway.
The result was the four fools tried to get in her all at the same time and it was too much for her and she cracked right down the middle . . . . " Before he could finish, the old lady had fainted dead away.
