Straight Flute Tap: 1/4-28 UNF, 3 Flutes, Bottoming, 3B Class of Fit, Vanadium High Speed Steel, Nitride Coated MPN:2493603

The Straight Flute Tap is a precision tool used to create screw threads in metal or plastic materials. Made from vanadium high-speed steel with three flutes, this tap features a bottoming style, a class 3B fit, and a 1/4-28 UNF thread size. Its straight flute design provides superior chip extraction capabilities and reduces the risk of tool breakage or damage during use, while its coating of nitride enhances its hardness, durability, and resistance to wear and heat. The straight flute tap is ideal for use in various machining applications such as threading, tapping, and drilling, and is particularly well-suited for use in aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing industries where precision and reliability are paramount. Its bottoming feature allows users to create strong, stable threads with minimal rethread damage or oversizing, making it a versatile and essential tool for professional machinists, engineers, and technicians alike.
