Spiral Flute Tap: 5/8-18, UNC, 4 Flute, 3B Class of Fit, High Speed Steel, TiN Finish MPN:7513081

Spiral flute taps are commonly used by machinists, engineers, and manufacturers for making threads on a variety of materials including metals, plastics, and composites. The 5/8-18 UNC, 4 flute, 3B class of fit, high speed steel, TiN finished spiral flute tap is specifically designed for cutting threads in threads in metals with medium to high machinability such as aluminum, brass, and carbon steel. The thread type is UNC which stands for Unified Coarse indicating the fine pitch and larger size of the threads it creates. With a 4 flute design, the tap ensures efficient chip removal while reducing heat build-up, wear and cutting time. The TiN finish provides excellent resistance to wear, galling and reduces friction, making it an ideal choice for a variety of professional applications in industries such as automotive, aerospace and manufacturing where precision threads need to be created.
