Spiral Flute Tap: 1/2-13 UNC, 3 Flutes, Bottoming, 2B Class of Fit, High Speed Steel, Black Oxide Coated MPN:6140587

Spiral flute taps are recognized for their unique thread-cutting design, which provides several advantages compared to traditional straight flute taps. These include better chip evacuation and reduced torque during use. The spiral flutes create stronger threads with fewer vibrations when cutting through materials. Additionally, the bottoming chamfer increases support for the threads and improves the ease of entry while starting the threaded connection. The high-speed steel construction ensures durability, hardness, and heat resistance necessary for use in demanding applications or multiple uses, while the black oxide coating provides corrosion protection and wear resistance, prolonging the tap's service life. Due to these features, spiral flute taps are widely used across various industries such as automotive manufacturing, aerospace components, medical device fabrication, plumbing systems, construction equipment production, and machinery manufacturing where precision thread-cutting is critical for optimal operation of the final product.
