3/8-24 Plug RH 3B H3 Oxide High Speed Steel 4-Flute Straight Flute Hand Tap MPN:6006733

The 3/8-24 plug RH 3B HSS straight flute hand tap features a 0.518 overall length, making it suitable for a wide range of threading applications requiring fine pitches in metallic materials such as steel, brass, and aluminum alloys. It boasts a black oxide finish that provides anti-rust properties and improves its cutting edges' hardness to resist wear during use. This high-speed steel material also exhibits higher wear resistance than carbon steel, allowing it to last longer between sharpenings without compromising on the thread's precision. Its 3-flute design provides faster chip removal and prevents the buildup of heat which ensures the tap's cooler operation even during high cutting applications. These properties make this plug tap suitable for professionals in the machining, automotive or metalworking industries requiring quick and accurate thread creation.
