McMaster-Carr's spiral flute tap designed for M4 x 0.70 DIN/ANSI threading applications features three cutting flutes to chip quickly and cleanly from the hole, minimizing the risk of breakage or damage. The semi-bottoming design produces strong threads on both sides while the high-speed steel composition ensures long tool life even when machining challenging materials like hardened steels or stainless steel. The 6HX class of fit ensures an excellent thread quality with minimal tap slippage, reducing the chance of rework due to incorrect sizing or poor thread fitment. This versatile tap is suitable for various industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and manufacturing where high precision and performance are critical requirements. By using McMaster-Carr's spiral flute tap engineers can achieve optimal threading results on a wide range of materials efficiently while saving time and costs associated with repair or replacement due to premature wear or breakage.
