The straight flute tap is a reliable tool used for tapping metals such as steel, brass, bronze or aluminum using UNC system standard threads from size #2 to 56 threading specifications. The high speed steel composition provides superior performance against wear and heat resistance even when working at high speeds and produces bright and chip-breaking flutes for efficient and clean cutting performance that minimizes built-up edges that are common in other tap materials, extending tap life considerably. It is ideal for aviation or automotive repair shops, production work requiring fast and efficient threading or general machinist where the 2B class of fit provides a fine thread that ensures accurate and precise fit when tightening against the threaded hole making it widely used in different industries that rely on precision threads for reliable joints.
