Spiral Flute Tap: #10-32 UNF, 3 Flutes, Modified Bottoming, 2B Class of Fit, Vanadium High Speed Steel, TIN Coated MPN:1732505

This spiral flute tap is specifically designed for producing better chip evacuation resulting in cleaner holes with minimal burr formation ideal for various industries like automotive, aerospace or machinery. It features three flutes to remove chips easily and effectively reducing breaking of chips in hole sides which could lead to quality issues, material waste, or even damage the tap. Constructed from vanadium high-speed steel (HSS) providing an optimal balance of strength, durability, and hardness it meets the requirement for most general purpose applications with its 2B class of fit ensuring good thread engagement between the tap and the material being tapped while offering excellent resistance to wear, galling or breakage. Its modified bottoming style ensures that the threads are cut from both ends with the bottoming tap removing slight amounts of material at the top to provide accurate, strong, and consistent mating threads for various thread forms such as UNC, UNF, Metric or ACME including hexagon bolts on aluminum which is not possible using traditional taps that do not remove this small amount making this an ideal solution for many industrial needs when tackling demanding tasks with precision, ease and speed.
