The Straight Flute Tap is an essential tool designed for use in creating external threads to meet standards of 1/2-13 UNC. It comes equipped with four flutes that facilitate the efficient evacuation of chips, ensuring smooth operation. Its bottoming feature adds a chamfer at the entry end of the hole, enhancing initial thread engagement and reducing bolt seizure risks. Additionally, its 2B class of fit ensures exceptional precision during operation, while high-speed steel construction increases durability. The nitride/oxide coating adds lubricity, minimizing friction and wear on both the tap and materials being machined. This versatile tool is ideal for applications within automotive, machining, and tooling industries where accurate thread creation is crucial.
