Thread Forming Tap: 3/8-16 UNC, 2B Class of Fit, Bottoming, High Speed Steel, TiN Coated MPN:2746298

The Thread Forming Tap - 3/8 - 16 UNC boasts high-quality construction using High-Speed Steel (HSS) material for durability, resistance to wear and heat during machining operations. Its 2B class of fit ensures a tight thread form on softer materials while its bottoming style creates stronger threads on harder substrates. The TiN coating offers resistance against corrosion, chipping and general wear for longer lasting performance. It excels in industries such as automotive, aircraft or mechanical engineering requiring precision thread forming in applications where strong and secure connections are required while maintaining smooth surfaces minimizing stress concentrators.
