1/4-28 Taper RH 2B/3B H3 Bright High Speed Steel 4-Flute Straight Flute Hand Tap MPN:5974681

The Straight Flute Tap: 1/4-28 UNF, 4 Flutes, Taper, 3B Class of Fit, High Speed Steel, Bright/Uncoated is designed for drilling and tapping metallic materials in applications that require high precision such as machining or tooling. Its 4 flutes provide efficient removal of chips and ensure a smooth surface finish while the tap's UNF thread is suitable for use with materials including aluminum, brass or steel. The tap has a tapered design which allows it to cut threads that mate well with the mating components, providing optimal holding strength. Its 3B class of fit ensures consistent thread geometry across multiple taps making them perfect for production runs, and its bright/uncoated finish increases wear resistance when used in conjunction with high-speed steel or cobalt coatings. These straight flute taps are suitable for use on drill presses, lathes or milling machines, where tight tolerances must be achieved.
