Thread Forming Tap: 3/8-16 UNC, Bottoming, Cobalt, Oxide Coated MPN:1400134501

Our premium thread forming tap is ideal for use in machining applications that require strong, permanent threads or rethreading existing fasteners with minimum damage to the existing hole. The bottoming style taps produce both mating threads while also creating a slight compression into the material, effectively creating an interference fit for added security. Manufactured from cobalt alloy which provides outstanding wear resistance, this oxide coated tap ensures increased lubricity and a smooth cut making it suitable for a wide range of materials such as stainless steel or carbon steel up to 16 gauge thickness. Easy to use and highly effective, this thread forming tap is essential for precision machining projects in the aerospace, automotive or general industries where accurate threads are critical.
