Spiral Flute Tap: 5/16-24, UNF, 3 Flute, Bottoming, 3B Class of Fit, Powdered Metal, Oxide Finish MPN:030440TC

The spiral flute tap featuring 5/16-24 thread size and UNF thread form is ideal for creating or repairing threads in materials such as metals, plastics or composites that require a higher thread density. Its 3-flute design reduces torque and heat generation thus increasing cutting efficiency and minimizing tool wear while its bottoming style helps prevent damage to the threads by preventing backing out. The 3B class of fit provides a high level of precision and accuracy ensuring precise threads while its powdered metal construction promotes durability and long-lasting performance. Furthermore, the oxide finish ensures rust resistance making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor applications thus promoting its importance in various industrial, commercial or domestic applications where threaded connections are required.
