The Spiral Flute Tap: #3-48 UNC with 2 flutes and bottoming is ideal for through holes or blind holes in softer metals like aluminum, copper, and brass. The cobalt composition provides the tapered edge's increased wear resistance. The TIN coating further prevents galling, and corrosion protects against rust buildup. Moreover, these attributes enhance thread formation, ensuring threads are of the right diameter and pitch as per standards. They offer efficient coolant disbursement, minimizing heat generation while increasing lifespan and tap precision. The class of fit (2B) provides a close fit when mating with like components, thus contributing to structural integrity. In summary, this high-quality spiral flute tap offers exceptional durability, accuracy and compatibility with a range of softer metals making it an ideal choice for those seeking precision, reliability and long life span in their tapping projects.
