3/8-16 Semi-Bottoming RH 2BX H5 TiAlN Cobalt 4-Flute Straight Flute Machine Tap MPN:7350205

The 3/8-16 semi-bottoming right-hand 2BX H5 TiAlN coated straight flute machine tap offers several advantages over conventional taps. With an aggressive thread form and 4 flutes, this tap provides faster tapping times with better thread quality for a wide range of materials such as steel, cast iron, and aluminum. The H5 TiAlN coating extends tool life by reducing friction, heat, and built-up edge while increasing chip evacuation to ensure smooth cutting operation. Furthermore, the semi-bottoming design allows users to tap through hard or difficult to machine materials like stainless steel with more ease and reduces tapping force required for bottoming operations, saving time and cost while ensuring a consistently high level of thread quality in production environments. Overall, this 3/8-16 semi-bottoming straight flute machine tap is an excellent choice for manufacturers, fabricators or anyone looking to improve productivity and precision in tapping operations.
