Spiral Flute Tap: UNC, 5 Flute, Bottoming, 2B Class of Fit, Cobalt, Bright/Uncoated Finish MPN:CU513500.5018

The OSG spiral flute tap comes in a UNC #1-8 size suitable for general purposes that offer exceptional chip evacuation while reducing friction during drilling. This high-performance cutting tool features an innovative cobalt alloy construction to enhance strength and heat resistance, allowing it to perform superbly on hardened steels without requiring frequent sharpening or replacements due to wear-and-tear. With its 5-flute design, this tap achieves faster machining while maintaining precision accuracy, offering superior thread quality essential for critical applications in industries such as automotive or aerospace engineering. Moreover, the bottoming style delivers cleaner and more precise threading with fewer errors at the end of thread creation while offering a 2B class of fit ensuring dimensional tolerances to match customer requirements perfectly. The cobalt alloy material's increased hardness makes this OSG tap ideal for challenging drilling applications where wear resistance and strength are crucial to reduce downtime or tool changes and offer superior value in its use.
