Top product features:

• Spiral flute design for efficient material removal and smooth tapping
• Cobalt construction for increased hardness and wear resistance
• Right-hand thread direction for consistent tapping in right-hand orientation applications

Top product applications:

• Machining a right-hand thread in a blind hole in a material that is not too hard, such as aluminum or copper, where a moderate amount of material needs to be removed.
• Cutting a right-hand thread in a through hole in a material that is slightly harder than the previous example, such as brass or bronze.
• Drilling a hole and cutting a right-hand thread in a through hole in a soft material, such as plastic, where a high degree of thread accuracy is required.
