Straight Flute Tap: #5-40 UNC, 3 Flutes, Plug, 2B/3B Class of Fit, Vanadium High Speed Steel, Nitride Coated MPN:2401103

The straight flute tap is designed for threading through-holes or blind holes in metallic materials like steel, aluminum or bronze allowing them to create uniform threads using a nut, bolt or screw assembly with ease during construction or repairs without damaging internal threads. With 3 flutes ensuring efficient chip removal and reduced friction while tapping, its VHS (Vanadium High Speed Steel) construction provides high durability, sharpness, and wear resistance even in hard-to-reach tight areas reducing breakage or breakouts during use. Additionally, the nitride-coated surface enhances the cutting life while providing excellent lubricity allowing users to work smoothly at higher feeds rates with less friction generating less heat maintaining the quality of threads without clogging debris. This versatile tool is widely used by professionals across industries ranging from aerospace, automotive, electronics and medical devices manufacturing ensuring precise threading for various machining applications where accuracy matters most.
