Thread Forming Tap: 3/8-16 UNC, 2B Class of Fit, Bottoming, High-Speed Steel, Bright/Uncoated Coated MPN:K010390AS

The Thread Forming Tap (3/8-16 UNC), featuring a 2B Class of Fit with Bottoming type, is an essential tool for machinists to create precise thread forms without generating chips like those produced during the tapping process. Manufactured from high-speed steel and treated with Bright/Uncoated Coating, it ensures maximum durability and superior performance when used on a wide range of materials such as stainless steel, brass or carbon steel within industries spanning aerospace, automotive, electronics, or hydraulic machining where the quality of threads is critical to meeting specific design requirements. This thread forming tap works efficiently in applications that require producing blind holes or creating reliable screw connections on materials without damaging their surface finish or material properties due to minimal cutting action while utilizing lower torque compared to regular taps, reducing the potential for thread damage.
