Description:

Metric Spiral Point Taps: M8 x 1.25 metric thread, H2 tolerance (accuracy), plug chamfer and right hand thread cutting. Straight flutes are fully ground to provide provide downward chip removal, with clear threads and sharp cutting edges.. 6542 (M2) High Speed Steel: Run at high speeds and generate threads quickly and efficiently, offering high hardness, wear resistance, and good toughness. Uncoated taps feature just the base substrate without any additional coatings, great for a wide range of applications.. Applications: Thread taps are great for through-hole threads. Can be used for drilling and tapping stainless steel, aluminum, alloy steel, ordinary steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, hard plastics, etc. Flutes on the threading tap help to remove chips and debris from the hole.. Machine Tap: Suitable for drill presses, tapping machines, CNC and milling machines. Used with tapping oil to get higher quality threads and more durable taps. The point of the screw tap helps guide it into the hole and reduces the torque required to turn it.. Tips: Machine taps are suggested to be used with tap chucks with overload protection. It is not recommended for hand use and electric drill tapping. Drill the holes with a twist drill bit first, then tap with a thread tap. The tapping angle should be 90 degrees vertical and stable..
