Spiral Flute Tap: M8 x 1.25, Metric, 4 Flute, Bottoming, 6HX Class of Fit, Cobalt, Bright/Uncoated MPN:5076672

The Spiral Flute Tap: M8 x 1.25, Metric, 4 Flute, Bottoming, 6HX Class of Fit, Cobalt, Bright/Uncoated is designed to offer a high degree of precision and performance for tapping applications requiring top-quality threads with minimal burr formation. Its bright/uncoated cobalt construction ensures superior wear resistance, heat resistance and hardness compared to standard carbon steel taps while its 4 flutes allow efficient chip evacuation and faster penetration through materials like stainless steel or hardened metals. The bottoming style of this tap enables it to create smooth and consistent threads in blind holes without thread damage on the opposing side, making it ideal for use in aerospace, automotive or high precision machining environments where reliable thread formation is critical to prevent potential issues such as joint failures or component malfunction.
