Thread Forming Tap: 1-8 UNC, 2B Class of Fit, Semi-Bottoming, Powdered Metal, TiN Coated MPN:8248376

The 1-8 UNC thread formers are made from powder metallurgical high-speed steel (HSS) with a TiN coating to improve durability and extend tool life. The 2B class of fit offers excellent tolerances ensuring precise results. These semi-bottoming taps are suitable for creating tube or hole threads in soft, medium-hard, and hard materials like aluminum, cast iron, steel, brass, or plastic with thread pitches between #16 to 1/4-20. The use of high-speed steels delivers excellent resistance against wear, galling, or seizing while thread cutting while the TiN coating prevents galling and ensures a smooth finish. Overall, this versatile tap from Sandvik Coromant is ideal for machinists and industrial users seeking accurate, repeatable tapping results on different materials with varying thicknesses.
