3/8-16 Modified Bottoming RH 2B TiCN Powdered Metal 4-Flute Straight Flute Machine Tap MPN:5934653

This Premium Prototyp by WALTER is a 3/8 - 16 bottoming tap designed for through coolant supply or high performance solid coolant delivery systems using cobalt, titanium or vanadium nitride cutting materials at recommended feed rates. The specialized coatings such as TiCN and AlTiN on its inserts provide exceptional wear protection, resistance against heat distortion which can alter tap geometry during prolonged usage; making it ideal for aerospace components manufacturers who require precise threading specifications adherence as well as the medical industry where dimensional tolerances must not be compromised. It comes in a standard square shoulder style for applications requiring chamfered threads or fine pitch sizes down to 20-32 which might call for round bottoming taps, but with an economical option considering its cost effectiveness given that it's powdered metal construction making it strong enough to provide longer tap life compared to other materials such as carbide although not recommended for stainless steel material because they cannot perform chip evacuation properly.
