Spiral Flute Tap: #8-32, UNC, 3 Flute, Modified Bottoming, 2BX Class of Fit, Powdered Metal, TiAlN Finish MPN:9029220041660

A spiral flute tap is a tool used in screw machines for cutting internal threads into tubes, holes or parts with precision; the spiral thread form grips the work piece better than the traditional straight-flute taps while providing smooth operation. This particular model comes equipped with features like a modified bottoming for improved chip control and easy start, along with an abrasion-resistant TiAlN finish which increases its longevity. The 2BX class of fit ensures proper fit with no runout or play, enabling high precision applications. Its typical customers include the automotive and aerospace industry for manufacturing parts that require strict tolerance levels, like hydraulic components, pistons, valves and engine blocks.
