Casafoyer Tap America 1/2-13 High-Speed Steel Spiral Point Tap Pack of 2

The Tap America series of spiral-pointed or machine taps was developed to address the common issue of tap breakage during through-hole tapping. These machine taps effectively push chips ahead of the cutting action minimizing loading and preventing clogging in the flutes. They are particularly recommended for both through and blind holes where chip accumulation can occur at the bottom. These taps are perfect for threading a diverse range of ductile materials including copper copper alloys brass and non-metallics. Made from high-speed steel these tools are ideal for general-purpose applications providing an excellent balance of hardness and toughness for enhanced wear resistance. The uncoated tools consist solely of the base substrate making them versatile for various applications. Featuring a round shank with a square end the straight flute design allows chips to collect in the flutes during cutting making them suitable for shallow cuts. Additionally the right-hand cut tools engage in a clockwise direction ensuring efficient cutting action.< p>
