Straight Flute Tap: 1-1/2-12 UNF, 6 Flutes, Plug, 3B Class of Fit, High Speed Steel, Bright/Uncoated MPN:MSC-04489654

The straight flute tap offers superior performance across diverse applications in manufacturing and mechanical fields due to its design which provides accurate centering and exceptional cutting abilities. With its high-speed steel construction that includes 6 flutes, the tool excels at producing chips allowing for smoother feeding into the material during operation while ensuring a more accurate thread fit per ISO standards like UNF sizes of 1-12 inches range offered by this particular model. Furthermore, it features a plug type with an ANSI class 3B fit that allows for high accuracy in dimension tolerances and minimizes run-out errors when threading on both internal or external surfaces, thus resulting in higher precision during assembly tasks saving valuable time without compromising on quality. With its versatility and performance across multiple industries, the straight flute tap is a crucial tool among professional engineers and machinists handling challenging thread cutting jobs efficiently while keeping costs relatively low compared to alternative tools like solid carbide taps or custom-made taps available in the market today.
