Spiral Flute Tap: 5/8-18, 3 Flutes, Bottoming, 3B Class of Fit, Vanadium High Speed Steel, Oxide Coated MPN:5443871

The spiral flute tap offers many advantages over traditional solid or single-form taps. It is suitable for producing a high volume of threads with ease as its triple flutes evacuate chips effectively without causing damage to the thread or workpiece surface during operation. Crafted from high-quality vanadium high speed steel, this bottoming tap boasts exceptional wear resistance and hardness while maintaining strength and durability in demanding applications where threads need accurate pitch and size control. Its 3B class of fit ensures snug and tight fits that don't easily loosen over time when subjected to stress or torque forces. Furthermore, the oxide finish provides a protective layer that reduces corrosion resistance and chipping, making this spiral flute tap an indispensable tool for professionals in the automotive, aviation, aerospace or industrial sectors that rely on precise and reliable thread creation.
