2-9/16" Long, 1-47/64" Wide Stainless Steel Slide Bolt MPN:KR-65

Designed to facilitate effortless installation of threads into soft metals such as aluminum or plastic while retaining the thread form intact even when subjected to heat treatment procedures that lead to grain flow distortion. The spiral point tap comes in UNF (Unified National Fine) 5/16-24 thread size ensuring compatibility across numerous applications that require a secure hold while resisting vibration loosening. The three flutes on the tap allow for continuous chip ejection offering uninterrupted drilling and tapping operations, even on challenging material types. This ensures quick and efficient throughput without compromising quality or accuracy at every tapping point. Its high-speed steel construction boasts increased heat resistance coupled with durability in applications requiring hard metal removal yet is gentle on fragile materials for precision drilling tasks avoiding scratches or breakage. The spiral point tap's 3B vanadium oxide finish offers superior lubricity ensuring smooth thread formation during tapping processes, eliminating gouging or rough surface finish while delivering a premium thread quality expected in automotive, machining or engineering industries for numerous drilling and tapping operations.
