1-1/8" Bore Diam, Steel Internal Snap Retaining Ring MPN:HO-112ST PA

Straight flute taps provide efficient chip removal during cutting thanks to their unidirectional chip flow design allowing for less friction and faster cutting. This specific product features a 3/8-16 UNC thread type suitable for numerous applications across diverse industries; while the 4 flutes allow better balance with thinner wall components like pipe fittings without reducing cutting precision or stability. The bottoming feature makes it an ideal tool when requiring internal threads and ensures precise depth control in tapping operations which translates into less risk of stripping the threads when tightening fasteners later on. Its 3B class fit provides superior dimensional accuracy with an added durable finish resistant to corrosion for extended use. High-speed steel material grants higher wear resistance and edge hardness while maintaining sharpness longer periods than other taps out there. From aerospace, automotive and general engineering applications, to plumbing or HVAC; this straight flute tap serves its purpose in producing quality threads efficiently with consistent reliability across different industries requiring tightening procedures regularly.
