Spiral Flute Tap: 1/4-32, UNEF, 3 Flute, Modified Bottoming, 2B Class of Fit, Cobalt, Bright/Uncoated MPN:6244773

The Spiral Flute Tap 1/4-32 is a reliable thread-forming tap designed to create uniform and consistent threads on tubular and solid stock material of steel, aluminum or brass for metalworking applications. Its features three spiral flutes which enable the cutting debris to be rapidly removed out of the hole, reducing friction while drilling resulting in increased production efficiency. Moreover, its Modified Bottoming design permits easier entry into pre-drilled holes preventing breakage or stripping and minimizes chatter on starter holes ensuring proper threads every time for professional quality work. Furthermore, manufactured using Cobalt which provides higher heat resistance allowing it to work longer lasting with the perfect mix of strength, wear resistance, and abrasion resistance ideal for tough environments. The uncoated finish of the tap provides lubricity resulting in a clean thread appearance, ensuring proper installation even in stainless steel material which requires cooling or water-based fluids while drilling to avoid gumming up the hole. In summary, it provides great performance at an affordable cost for industrial applications such as Taps making it a versatile and popular choice among professional mechanics, machinists or hobbyists alike.
