Spiral Point STI Tap: 7/16-20 UNF, 3 Flutes, Plug, High Speed Steel, Bright/Uncoated MPN:12500300

The Spiral Point Tap with specification number STI716-20 is a versatile tool designed to create external threading on threads of UNF-type with a major diameter of .499 and an overall length of four inches. Crafted from high speed steel and engineered to produce superior workpieces through a series of spiral flutes, it features an economical plug style while providing consistent cutting action that prevents skidding or damage to the tool itself. Its 3-flute design offers faster chip removal than those with more flutes, but also requires slightly deeper cuts and increased force during operation making this ideal for general use in many industries such as automotive, engineering, electronics, aviation among others where the creation of fine screw threads is necessary.
