Straight Flute Taps, Tap Type: Machine , Thread Size (Inch): 1/2-20 , Overall Length (Decimal Inch): 3.3750 , Thread Standard: UNF , Chamfer: Bottoming MPN:1951476

Straight flute taps are precision cutting tools specifically designed for creating internal threads on tubes or solid bars with machine type tap type, UNF thread size (1/2-20) and bottoming chamfer. Made of high-speed steel (HSS), they provide increased strength, hardness and wear resistance compared to carbon steel taps. These attributes ensure optimal performance during the thread cutting process, delivering smooth and accurate cuts on various materials like metals or plastics. Their straight flute design allows for fast chip evacuation and reduces friction, minimizing wear and prolonging the tool's lifespan. Straight flute taps also feature an ISO 784-1 class C-2A or better tap tolerance which ensures tight and precise fits, essential in applications requiring high precision threading. Overall, straight flute taps made of high-speed steel offer numerous benefits for machinists or hobbyists alike who need accurate and durable threading solutions on their machinery or workpieces.
