Spiral Flute Tap: #1-8 UNC, 3 Flutes, Plug, 3BX Class of Fit, Cobalt, Nitride Coated MPN:CU306011.5018

The spiral flute tap comes in a UNC size #1-8 with three flutes, plug style design providing additional gripping surface to prevent strip threads during use. The cobalt alloy construction increases durability and resistance against heat, offering extended lifespan and the ability to work with harder material types such as stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steels, bronze or cast iron. The plug style design offers a longer thread length with a 3BX class of fit providing greater versatility and eliminates costly adjustments for mismatched taps or dies, while the nitride finish provides corrosion resistance, reduces friction and delivers exceptional chip removal in various industries such as automotive manufacturing, general machining or toolrooms requiring high-speed steel taps for precision thread creation.
