Spiral Point Tap: M3 x 0.5, Metric Coarse, 2 Flutes, Plug, 6H, High Speed Steel, Bright Finish MPN:MT3838502

This spiral point tap is made of high speed steel that can create clean, well-centered threads for a range of soft to medium-hard materials including metal, plastic or wood for a tight-fitting connection without the need of an extra lubricant. The metric coarse thread has a 30 degree angle that prevents cross-threading while providing faster and easier screw insertion. Its plug tap feature enables easy removal of chips and dust in difficult-to-reach areas. Manufacturers and DIY users often utilize this spiral point tap for creating strong fastening points on various machines, devices, assemblies or repairs where a high degree of accuracy is necessary to ensure reliable operation without loosening due to its cutting thread configuration.
