Spiral Point Tap: 5/16-18 UNC, 3 Flutes, 3 to 5P, 2B Class of Fit, Vanadium High Speed Steel, Oxide Coated MPN:382675

The Spiral Point Tap, with its 5/16-18 UNC thread size and a cutting diameter of approximately 0.204 (1/32), is designed to create UNC threads in materials such as carbon steel or stainless steel. Its three flutes provide superior chip removal and support optimal cooling, allowing for longer usage periods without breaking. Made from premium vanadium high-speed steel, the tap's robust construction ensures durability during tapping operations and reduces breakage risk compared to standard high-speed steel bits. The oxide coating further enhances corrosion resistance and extends the life of the tool. This spiral point tap is an ideal choice for professionals or hobbyists involved in industrial, aerospace, automotive, or general machining applications where fine thread cutting and precision are crucial. Typical users range from machinists, engineers to maintenance teams seeking reliable tools that meet their tapping needs at affordable pricing levels.
