Spiral Flute Tap: 1/2-20, 3 Flute, Modified Bottoming, Cobalt, TiCN & TiN Finish MPN:6140682

The Spiral flute tap, measuring at 1/2-20 threads per inch, features three flutes to ensure smooth chip removal while minimizing tool binding during drilling operations. Its modified bottoming feature allows the tip to create stronger threadforms by preventing premature thread breakout on pre-existing holes making it perfect for blind or interrupted hole applications. The cobalt construction offers increased wear resistance, enabling the tap to maintain its cutting edges for longer periods, reducing downtime and saving money in the long run. This versatile tap comes with a TiCN & TiN finish for better heat, abrasion and oxidation resistance providing prolonged performance when drilling stainless steel or hardened materials widely used in industrial environments including automotive, aerospace, engineering, and precision machining industries among others.
