Bordo 6 x 0.75mm HSS Cobalt Metric Fine Spiral Point Tap

Product Features

• 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

Applications

• 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
