Spiral flute taps are thread-forming tools designed to create internal threads with a 9/16-12 UNC pitch thread form in various materials such as metals or plastics. This particular model is made from high-performance powdered metal for increased strength and durability, while the TiN finish provides added corrosion resistance and lubricity for smoother cutting action during installation. It has 3 flutes which offer efficient chip removal and coolant flow to reduce heat buildup and improve tool life. Its modified bottoming feature ensures a secure fit in blind or through-holes, while the class 2B fit tolerance maintains precision threads according to ISO standards for precise dimensional control. The spiral flute design enhances chip evacuation, making it suitable for high production environments such as automotive, aviation, and machine shops that require repeated thread creation or removal.
