Straight Flute Tap: 1/2-13 UNC, 4 Flutes, Bottoming, 3B Class of Fit, High Speed Steel, Nitride/Oxide Coated MPN:1602807

The Straight Flute Tap provides users in machining and tooling industries an accurate and efficient solution for tapping holes to thread standards of 1/2-13 UNC. With four flutes designed for fast chip evacuation, it reduces build up on the tap's teeth, ensuring ease of operation. Its bottoming feature produces a larger chamfer at the entry end of the hole improving initial thread engagement and reducing the risk of bolt seizure. Additionally, being made from high-speed steel with a 3B class of fit ensures optimal durability and precision in any operation, while the nitride/oxide coating provides lubricity, reducing friction and wear on both the tap and material being machined.
