Spiral Point Tap: M6 x 1, Metric Coarse, 2 Flutes, Plug, 6H, High Speed Steel, Bright Finish MPN:20272

Spiral Point Tap M6 x 1, Metric Coarse, 2 Flutes, Plug, 6H, High Speed Steel, Bright Finish is a top-quality tap ideal for machining metals, particularly stainless steel, aluminum alloys and titanium due to its excellent chip flow capabilities and reduced friction during operations. The spiral point design reduces stress induced on the material by minimizing pressure buildup, thus preventing thread damaging burrs or misalignments whilst ensuring a smooth start. Moreover, its cutting teeth provide efficient drill entry preventing over-penetration while maintaining correct hole depth and diameter precision vital for assembling components within tight tolerance fits typical in medical, electronics and aviation industries among others requiring precision threaded connections without the need for rework or correction costs related to defective threads. This high speed steel construction provides superior hardness compared to standard carbon steel while ensuring long tap life perfect for professional tradesmen looking for premium taps capable of handling challenging applications where reliability and longevity are priorities rather than price point considerations.
