Straight Flutes Tap: 5/16-18, UNC, 4 Flutes, Plug, High Speed Steel, Bright/Uncoated MPN:C54514

Straight flute taps are essential tools for machinists, manufacturers, and engineers working on high precision projects in industries such as aerospace, aviation or military applications where precise threads are critical. They produce clean, accurate and strong thread forms with no deformation even on soft materials like aluminum or stainless steel. With four flutes, these taps provide a continuous flow of chips for smooth operation while providing easy chip removal without jamming or clogging. The high-speed steel construction delivers excellent durability and strength in demanding metalworking applications. Finally, its plug-style head eliminates the need for additional holders for easy use on manual or CNC machinery resulting in cost savings in operation, making it an ideal tool for any professional looking for top performance and precision.
