Spiral Flute Tap: 5/16-24, UNF, 3 Flute, Bottoming, 3B Class of Fit, Vanadium High Speed Steel, TiN Finish MPN:4131103

Spiral flute taps are widely used to cut threads quickly in metal materials without creating too much heat or overheating which can lead to deformation of the material. With an overall length of approximately 2 inches, this UNF (Unified National Fine) coarse thread tap features a 3-flute bottoming design ideal for clean and precise thread creation in applications ranging from machine repairs to light manufacturing tasks. Manufactured with Vanadium High Speed Steel which offers enhanced hardness and resistance against wear, this Titanium Nitride (TiN) finish tap offers superior lubricity which increases tool longevity while producing clean threads on stainless steel or titanium materials.
