High-Performance Spiral-Point Taps for Steel & Stainless Steel
Available2 products
These high-performance spiral-point taps provide better precision and accuracy than general purpose spiral-point taps when used for threading holes in steel and/or stainless steel. High-performance spiral-point taps are harder and more wear-resistant than general purpose spiral-point taps. The taps have straight flutes with a spiral point that pushes chips in front of the tap as it moves into a hole and out the other side, eventually forcing the chips out of the hole. They create internal threads in through holes and are installed into a toolholder on a machine such as a lathe or CNC machine to operate.
Thread Size
Unified Thread Standard High-Performance Bright Finish Spiral-Point Taps for Steel
These taps have a unified thread standard and are designed for tapping steel. UN coarse (UNC) taps have fewer threads per inch than UN fine (UNF) taps. Compared to UNF taps, UNC taps perform better in threading applications on brittle materials and are less likely to cross thread. Coarse threads can also withstand more physical abuse than fine threads. UNF taps have more threads per inch than UNC taps. Compared to UNC taps, UNF taps perform better in threading applications on thin-walled workpieces and hard materials. Fine threads provide more tensile strength and shear strength than coarse threads. The bright finish on these taps provides a smooth, polished surface.
