Ball End Mill: 0.008" Dia, 0.024" LOC, 2 Flute, Solid Carbide MPN:74008

This thread forming tap is designed for creating self-threading screws by forming threads into existing holes or through bolted joints. It's constructed with Powdered Metal High Speed Steel (PM HSS) which offers outstanding wear resistance and toughness in applications that involve a high degree of torque while maintaining thread accuracy. The 2B Class of fit ensures tight tolerances are maintained when forming threads, preventing any potential wobbling or loosening of parts during operation. Additionally, its TiN-T26 coating provides superior hardness, heat resistance, and lubricity compared to conventional HSS coatings, allowing the tap to deliver cleaner cuts with minimal tool wear even in tough metals like stainless steel, brass, aluminum, or titanium. This all-purpose forming tap is ideal for use in aviation industries, automotive repair shops, and general metalworking where securely threaded holes are essential for holding screws or bolts securely into place without risk of damaging delicate threads or mating surfaces.
