Spiral Flute Tap: 5/8-11, 3 Flutes, Bottoming, 3B Class of Fit, Vanadium High Speed Steel, Oxide Coated MPN:5443859

The spiral flute tap is made from premium vanadium high-speed steel offering durability and wear resistance to cut threads accurately without snagging or jamming on internal pipes' material. The bottoming feature ensures a crisp chamfer for smooth entry while tapping through, thus preventing scratching during assembly process. This type of tap comes with three flutes which improve chip evacuation from cutting zone resulting into faster removal and easier hole clearance. It features 5/8-11 inch-pitch size and a class B fit class for its precise thread form with minimal deviations while tapping stainless steel, carbon steel or other types of metals used on pipes. The oxide finish allows users to use this tap without additional lubrication for smoother operation when tapping holes through rough surfaces with less wear during continuous operations within industries such as manufacturing or mechanical repair shops where repetitive tapping is needed quickly and efficiently.
