A Straight Flute Tap is a high-quality tool ideal for machinists or professionals working in the field of mechanical engineering who need to create screw threads on threaded holes in metallic materials. Its compatibility with UNC 1/4-20 threads make it suitable for use on an array of fasteners and fittings commonly found across different industries. With a four flute design, it offers superior performance when drilling or tapping applications while providing clean, burr-free finishes in stainless steel and other metallic materials. Additionally, its bottoming style ensures accurate starts and reduced breakout forces during use, which results in high precision workmanship that meets or exceeds the required class of fit, making it an indispensable tool for professional use.
