Description
#3-48 UNC HSS Spiral Point Tap for cutting internal threads by hand or in a tapping head. Cutting edges on the chamfered lead progressively form the thread as the tap advances, with straight flutes carrying chips back out of the hole. This size has a #3 cutting diameter, 1/2" of flute, 1-13/16" overall length and a 0.11" shank.
- HSS construction that holds a keen edge at moderate cutting speeds and regrinds easily.
- Tin Coated finish, titanium nitride coating raises surface hardness and allows higher feeds.
- Spiral Point geometry.
- #3 thread at 48 threads per inch.
- Supplied 3 per package.
