Straight Flute Tap: #8-32 UNC, 4 Flutes, Bottoming, 2B Class of Fit, High Speed Steel, Bright/Uncoated MPN:MSC-04437331

The #8-32 UNC high speed steel straight flute tap has a bottoming feature for improved chip flow during the cutting process. This particular thread form is widely utilized in manufacturing and engineering applications, where accurate mating threads are essential for secure fastening assemblies or components. The bright/uncoated finish increases lubricity which results in lower friction levels while maintaining a clean thread profile when used in stainless steel alloys such as 304 or 316 grades. Its four flutes reduce chips accumulation during drilling operations by providing efficient chip evacuation, preventing work material overheating or heat distortion which leads to damaged threads. It also helps reduce time spent deburring, an essential step when producing consistent thread quality on turned parts, thanks to its 2B class of fit manufacturing specification. Overall, this straight flute tap is an essential tool for improving production efficiency within industries that rely heavily on threads such as automotive, aerospace or mechanical engineering.
