Spiral Flute Tap: 3/8-24, UNF, 3 Flute, Bottoming, 2B Class of Fit, Cobalt, Oxide Finish MPN:5973930

The spiral flute tap is a premium quality tool used for tapping precision holes in various materials such as stainless steel, titanium, aluminum or brass for fastening applications with minimum burrs or chips generated during drilling operations. Its unique design offers efficient chip evacuation reducing friction and heat buildup while improving feed rate consistency when cutting threads resulting in faster drilling times than traditional taps. The cobalt alloy composition imparts high wear resistance ensuring longer lasting durability ideal for automotive or aerospace industries needing reliable tools that can handle repetitive threading tasks. Its 3-flute bottoming design prevents damage to previously threaded holes while allowing users to rethread previously tapped screw holes eliminating additional time spent on secondary operations like deburring, chamfering or polishing.
