Spiral Flute Tap: 1/2-13, UNC, 4 Flute, Modified Bottoming, 2B Class of Fit, Cobalt, TiN Finish MPN:5348674

Spiral flute taps are widely used within the machining and tooling industries for creating screw threads into metals such as steel or alloys when attaching inserts onto materials for joining purposes in high pressure applications, like pipe connections requiring robust thread creation while preventing weakening of material's properties. With UNC standard thread design, a 1/2-13 tap size offers superior efficiency for cutting threads that range from coarse to fine pitches using 4 flute design allowing for easy chip ejection thus promoting efficient chip removal in turn reducing pressure on tap during drilling. Additionally, cobalt tip technology combined with titanium nitride finish increases durability preventing tap breakage ensuring thread consistency within high-stress operating conditions while lasting longer compared to standard carbon steel counterparts. Therefore, professionals working in the machining and tooling industries frequently employ spiral flute taps with this specific 1/2-13 size and modification characteristics for accurate results requiring dependable performance when demand calls for it.
