This spiral flute tap from Apex Tool Group is an excellent solution for professionals in the automotive, aerospace or industrial machinery industries who demand precision engineering on UNC threaded fasteners made from steel alloys, stainless steel and brass. The cobalt material composition provides superior wear resistance over high-carbon steel taps, enabling it to last longer even during demanding operations where higher precision is critical for performance. Its 3 flutes reduce friction while drilling and tapping, allowing technicians to achieve quicker cycles time on their work pieces, reducing downtime in their production workflows. Additionally, its plug thread type ensures smooth entry into the pre-drilled hole ensuring greater reliability when tightening threaded fasteners into assemblies.
