Thread Forming Tap, 3/8"-24, Semi-Bottoming, TiCN, 5 Flutes MPN:GT255011

This high-performance Thread Forming Tap from Widia is designed for efficient threading in a variety of applications, including aerospace, automotive, and industrial manufacturing. The semi-bottoming design allows for easy threading in blind holes, while the 5-flute design provides excellent chip removal and reduced wear on the tap. Constructed from cobalt high-speed steel with a titanium nitride (TiCN) coating for enhanced durability and resistance to wear, this tap is ideal for use in high-torque applications. Its compact size and standard DIN tap length make it a convenient choice for a range of threading tasks, from 3/8in-24 UNF threads.

Top product features:

• Thread forming tap creates threads in materials without the need for a pre-drilled hole
• TiCN coating provides wear resistance and corrosion protection
• 5 flutes allow for efficient chip removal and smooth tapping performance

Top product applications:

• Thread forming taps are used to create threads in metal parts without cutting the material, making them ideal for applications where material removal is a concern.
• Thread forming taps are often used in high-volume production environments where consistency and accuracy are critical, such as in the aerospace or automotive industries.
• Thread forming taps can be used in situations where access is limited, such as in deep holes or confined spaces, making them a good choice for repair or maintenance applications.
