Spiral Flute Tap: 5/16-18, UNC, 2 Flute, Modified Bottoming, 3B Class of Fit, Vanadium High Speed Steel, AlCrTiN Finish MPN:5708328

Emuge's spiral flute tap provides exceptional chip flow capabilities to minimize loading and prolong tool life while offering reduced thread damage compared to standard hand taps due to its optimized geometry. Its 5/16-18 UNC size ensures compatibility with a wide range of applications requiring a medium-sized threading solution across industries such as automotive, aerospace or industrial machinery. The modified bottoming feature improves cutting accuracy during tapping while reducing chatter, vibrations or breakage issues which can lead to unpredictable outcomes within production lines. Made of vanadium high-speed steel allows this tap to withstand heat-generated stresses during drilling or machining operations while enhancing durability and robustness. Moreover, its aluminum cobalt nitride finish improves lubricity for smoother cuts, decreased friction, increased wear resistance plus anti-galling properties in demanding work environments where abrasive chips might otherwise cause galling or stuck threads, benefiting operators striving towards precision accuracy and reduced expenses.
