The straight flute tap is an essential tool designed for tapping through holes into a material during thread forming operations without the need for a die or separate tap as it simultaneously cuts chips away from the hole walls while forming threads, resulting in quicker process times and better accuracy when compared to hand-tapped holes. This straight flute tap offers precision performance due to its 7/16-20 inch thread size made of vanadium high-speed steel alloy which provides superior heat resistance properties enabling it to perform well under heavy-duty applications without wearing out too quickly or breaking off while in use. The UNF (Unified National Fine) Thread Standard further enhances its compatibility with a wide range of components across various industries, including machining or automotive repairs, ensuring reliable operation wherever used. The plug chamfer design aids chip evacuation during thread creation processes to prevent binding while improving overall chip clearance effectiveness for smoother tapping operations even on reamed holes with minimal burr formation. Overall, the straight flute tap delivers dependable performance across different materials, suitable for industrial users, hobbyists or home handymen who seek accurate and quick thread forming operations within their machining projects.
