The straight flute tap is an ideal tool for producing threads in a range of materials such as steel, brass, plastics or aluminum by providing a clean, accurate and effective method of cutting chips or shavings while threading. It has four flutes which offer an increased level of rigidity during the tapping process, reducing chip load stress allowing users to maintain precision on their threads even at higher RPMs while its uncoated high-speed steel construction ensures a faster rate of cutting for metal working and general machining applications. Its Bottoming tap style is suitable for breaking through holes, removing burrs or debris or cleaning up existing threads providing added versatility to users while its 2B/3B class of fit ensures compatibility with both the imperial or metric thread systems meeting the needs of most professional or hobbyist users.
