The present disclosure is directed to a dual technology relief tap, and more specifically, to a relief tap where a segment on the threaded portion has a first type of relief and the remainder of the threads have a second type of relief or a concentric thread to limit tilt and loosening and ultimately to prevent overfeed or underfeed. In some embodiments, a neutral, negative, positive, convex, or other type of relief is applied generally to most of the threaded portion with or without concentric threads, and a second type of relief of any type, such as a neutral, a negative, a positive, a convex, or other relief, is applied to some selected threads. In another embodiment, the second type of relief is applied to the first threads after the chamfer or are spaced regularly over the threaded surface.
