Straight Flute Tap: 1/4-28 UNF, 4 Flutes, Plug, High Speed Steel, Bright/Uncoated MPN:MSC-04460283

The straight flute tap is a precision cutting tool used to cut threads on internal holes of materials ranging from metal, plastics or wood when creating fastening joints that require uniformity in size and shape without leaving debris due its high-speed steel construction. Its UNC (Unified Coarse) coarse threading system makes it compatible with bolts or screws typically utilized across various applications within industries such as machinery, automotive or aerospace engineering where accurate and durable threads are required for safe and secure fastening performance. The plug feature acts as an ejector allowing ease of removal while reducing the likelihood of damaged threads during disassembly. Its 4 flutes enable easy chip extraction without any compromise in cutting efficiency, while a bright/uncoated finish eliminates the need for post-use sharpening ensuring consistent and prolonged use across various materials thus providing overall value at its price point.
