Thread Forming Tap: 5/16-18 UNC, 2B Class of Fit, Bottoming, High Speed Steel, Uncoated MPN:TT82884

The thread forming tap offers numerous advantages over traditional taps such as eliminating the need for die thus reducing time & costs, minimizing damage to tapped holes and increasing durability hence lowering tooling expenses. Its versatility with a 5/16-18 UNC size offers flexibility in application while the 2B class of fit ensures easy starts in soft materials by decreasing friction and wear. The bottoming feature eliminates burrs, producing clean & consistent threads, which in turn increases longevity by improving wear resistance due to the high-speed steel composition used. Furthermore, it is ideal for industries where corrosion resistance matters such as aerospace or precision machining making it an all-purpose solution for numerous projects.
