Straight Flute Taps, Tap Type: Machine , Thread Size (Inch): 1-1/2-12 , Thread Standard: UNF , Chamfer: Taper , Material: High Speed Steel MPN:3012776

Straight flute taps are widely used by professionals and hobbyists in industries like automotive, aerospace, medical equipment manufacturing, and toolmaking. The versatile nature of these straight flute taps makes them popular among engineers and machinists for creating threads of different sizes, shapes, and finishes. Made from high-speed steel, these taps are durable and long-lasting, requiring less frequent sharpening compared to other materials like carbon or brass. The tapered chamfer design reduces stress while cutting and produces smooth, accurate threads. One significant advantage of straight flute taps is their ability to cut chips away from the material being threaded, improving tool performance and reducing heat buildup. High speed steel also allows for faster machining speeds without compromising on quality or precision. Overall, these straight flute taps offer an effective solution for creating high-quality threads across various applications and materials, making them a popular choice among professionals and hobbyists alike.
