The Thread Forming Tap is a high-quality cutting tool made from premium powdered metal with a black finish coating to provide high wear resistance and longer service life. The taps' specialized geometry of the spiral flutes allows the tap to create threads while also providing smoother, stronger threads in materials like aluminum and stainless steel. This 7/16-14 UNC tapered thread forming tap has a 2BX class of fit for close tolerance threads on cast iron or steel tubes or pipes with Rp threads ranging from ANSI B353.8 to B353.9 class 2 and above. With its modified bottoming feature, it can cut through hard-to-reach spots without breaking down or damaging the part being tapped, making it an ideal tool for aerospace industries, automotive manufacturers, or any workshops requiring precise thread forming operations on challenging materials and threads.
