Goliath 3 x 0.5mm MC Spiral Point (Gun) | AIMS Industrial

Product Features

• This allows a stronger cross section throughout the tap

Applications

• Reduced shank taps are designed for through hole applications in materials with high tensile strength
• 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

Specifications

• HSS-Co Bright Finish Reduced Long Series Shank Metric Coarse Spiral Point Machine Tap
• HSS-Co Spiral Point (Gun Nose) Long Series Tap made to DIN 376 standard
• Manufactured from HSS-Co5, this modern design tap uses straight flutes supplemented by angular cutting faces at the point to produce a fine finish on the threads
• Reduced shank taps have a smaller shank diameter than full-diameter taps
• Spiral point taps, also known as '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
• 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
• Metric Coarse angle of thread is 60 degrees
• Shallower flutes achieve a stronger cross section allowing the tap to withstand greater cutting forces
