Spiral Flute Tap: #8-32, UNC, 3 Flute, Plug, 2B Class of Fit, Vanadium High Speed Steel, Oxide Finish MPN:5705411

The Spiral Flute Tap is a thread tapping tool designed for use on Unified Thread Standard (UNC) threads with #8-32 internal threads. The taps come in 3 flutes which provide rapid chip clearance and efficient chip ejection, allowing for quicker and smoother cutting of the threaded surface. It features a Plug tip design that provides good chip separation and is suitable for threading through holes in soft material such as plastics or thin metals. The 2B class of fit means it is designed to produce a fine thread pitch with greater precision, suitable for applications requiring tighter tolerances. The spiral flute design also ensures reduced friction and easier passage through the workpiece material. These tap threads are made from vanadium high speed steel (HSS), which provides high wear resistance and durability in cutting threads into a range of materials including metal, plastics, and wood. Overall, the spiral flute tap is an essential tool used by industries ranging from automotive, aerospace, to general machining for cutting and producing precise threads on various materials with ease.
