Thread Forming Tap: 3/8-16 UNC, Plug, High Speed Steel, TiCN Coated MPN:K010389AS85

The Thread Forming Tap: 3/8-16 UNC, Plug, High Speed Steel, TiCN Coated is a precision cutting tool designed for forming threads in blind holes or adding helical grooves to workpieces. Made of high-speed steel with a TiCN coating, this tap offers durability and heat resistance while preventing chip build-up and prolonging tool life. In machining and tooling applications, thread forming taps can replace conventional screw threads, eliminating the need for secondary operations like tapping or rolling threads. This results in increased efficiency, reduced production time, and cost savings by reducing the need for additional processes and materials.
