Its bottoming feature allows for the creation of threaded holes at any depth, making it suitable for applications like machining or woodworking where deeper thread engagement is desired. Made from high-speed steel, this tap ensures maximum durability and longevity while its bright/uncoated finish promotes better cutting performance with minimal gumming or clogging when tapping into tough materials within the Taps & Dies category.
