Straight Flute Tap: 3/4-16 UNF, 4 Flutes, Taper, Carbon Steel, Bright/Uncoated MPN:C69469

A straight flute tap is an essential tool designed for drilling threads into metallic materials with precision and accuracy, enabling quick assembly without damaging surfaces or deformations during tapping operations. This 3/4-16 UNF carbon steel tap features a 4 flute design offering excellent chip clearance and reduces friction, resulting in faster cutting rates compared to traditional spiral point taps. The 4 flutes provide improved control when starting or restarting after breaking the chips, which is particularly important when working with softer materials such as aluminum alloys without causing damage. Due to its construction of high-quality carbon steel with bright/uncoated finish, this tap delivers outstanding durability and resistance against wear while maintaining thread accuracy. The straight flute style allows for efficient cutting even at higher RPMs which is suitable for various industries that demand precision in machinery parts or tools manufacturing like automotive repair shops, aerospace maintenance units, electronics assembly factories, and machine shop floors.
