Spiral Point Tap: 5/8-24, UNEF, 4 Flutes, Plug, 2B, Cobalt, Bright Finish MPN:6149499

The spiral point tap features a 5/8 - 24 UNEF thread count with 4 flutes, measuring 3/8 inch length, constructed from cobalt for durability, and has a bright finish coating providing lubrication during usage. Its purpose is to manufacture or refurbish screw threads in metal materials using lathe machines with tapping capacity for thread creation on screws requiring precision tolerance as the tap size of 3/8 inches suggests suitability for small components or appliances and its 135 degrees degree of angle allow a stable grip minimizing wobble hence maintaining accuracy. The spiral point design permits efficient penetration and removes chips, preventing damaging on the thread being machined, while the cobalt composition makes it suitable for tough materials enabling longer lasting use in heavy duty applications found mostly among aviation or automotive industries needing sturdy threads requiring complex measurements during their operations.
