Bordo 6 x 0.75mm HSS Cobalt MF Spiral Point Tap 3121-6.00

Features:

• 6 x 0.75mm HSS Cobalt MF Spiral Point Tap
• HSS-Co5 (Cobalt) Metric Fine Spiral Point (Gun Nose) machine tap.
• Cobalt HSS taps are extremely hard and provide superior performance and increased tool life especially in stainless steel and high tensile steel.
• Gun nose taps have straight flutes supplemented by angular cutting faces at the lead.
• The design of the cutting portion propels the swarf ahead of the tap leaving the flutes clear for the flow of coolant to the cutting teeth.
• Primarily designed for use in through holes, these taps can be used in blind holes provided that there is ample clearance beyond the threaded section to accommodate the swarf.
• The advantages of a gun nose tap are the shearing action of the angular cutting faces, which produces a fine finish on the threads and shallower flutes. This allows a stronger cross section throughout the tap.
• Metric Fine taps have a 60º angle of thread.
• The crest is flat and the thread has clearance at the root allowing external thread and internal thread to engage well.
• Larger root radius and lower thread height enable easy screw thread processing and increase thread screw strength.
• The major diameter of external thread and pitch are specified by a simple numerical value (most commonly measured in millimeters).
