Thread Forming Tap: 3/8-24 UNF, 2B Class of Fit, Form Tap, Powdered Metal High Speed Steel, TICN-67 Coated MPN:BU386F00.5045

Thread Forming Taps, often known as Thread Mills or Cold Forming Dies are designed to create precise threads without the need for pre-tapping, rethreading, or using die heads and provide more durable results than conventional cutting taps due to less friction during insertion. This 3/8-24 UNF, Powdered Metal High Speed Steel tap features a TICN-67 Coating enhancing wear resistance & lubrication properties while cutting into the material and comes with a 2B class of fit suitable for general purposes applications. Its thread diameter tolerances meet American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards. Thread Forming taps can be employed in various industries such as automotive, machinery, plumbing & construction for creating strong internal threads in stainless steel, titanium, and other hard materials while providing resistance to heat & galling. Additionally, their easy-to-use, efficient, & clean design with no burrs or chip formation make it suitable for applications requiring precision in tight tolerances where cutting taps may create issues related to chips trapped between threads leading to damage, thread irregularities or reduced accuracy in the finished part's threads.
