Precision Dowel Pin: 2 x 8 mm, Stainless Steel, Grade 416, Passivated Finish MPN:MDP416-2MM-8

Spiral flute taps are essential tools used to cut threads into components during manufacturing processes. This 5/16-24 UNF tap measures approximately 3 inches in length and features three cutting flutes for fast material removal while maintaining accurate thread form. Its semi-bottoming design ensures efficient use when cutting a majority of the thread depth while minimizing chip accumulation. Made from powdered metal, this tap is resistant to wear and abrasion, ensuring longevity during tapping applications. The 2B class of fit offers an acceptable level of tolerance making it suitable for use in general industrial environments or home workshops. Its FeN coating increases its durability and reduces friction while cutting, ensuring smoother performance during threading operations. This spiral flute tap is ideal for machinists or DIY enthusiasts working on automotive or aerospace projects requiring fine threads, such as engine components, hydraulic fittings, and fastener assemblies.
