Spiral Flute Tap: 1/4-20, UNC, 3 Flute, Modified Bottoming, 2BX Class of Fit, Cobalt, Oxide Finish MPN:AU456001.5009

This spiral flute tap is an industrial-grade tool designed for tapping metal materials with UNC threads types, measuring 1/4 - 20 in size, featuring 3 flutes for efficient cutting while minimizing chip accumulation. Its modified bottoming feature enables accurate thread creation on pre-existing holes or at the end of threads while ensuring against stripping during use. Engineered for professional applications requiring high precision tapping across numerous industries including aerospace, automotive, machining shops, among others where materials like Inconel, Hastelloy, and Waspalloy are commonly used; the cobalt construction is further enhanced by an oxide finish extending its lifespan even when encountering anti-gall resistant coatings or increased wear during prolonged usage.
