Straight Flute Tap: 3/8-16 UNC, 4 Flutes, Taper, High Speed Steel, Bright/Uncoated MPN:K008427AS

The straight flute tap is an essential tool for machining and manufacturing industries that require tapping precise holes on metal materials to accept threaded fasteners. With a 3/8-16 UNC thread size and 4 flutes, it's suitable for creating a wide range of hole sizes with minimal chip buildup and smooth finishes on ferrous materials such as steel, stainless steel or brass. Made from high speed steel (HSS) ensures durability, strength and resistance against heat and wear while taping in applications that demand high-speed operation without breaking or chipping. This straight flute tap is ideal for use in machining workshops, tooling facilities, maintenance departments, or by professional mechanics who require the precise tapping of components with minimal drill wander during the fastening process.
