Sutton T461 1/2 x 12 TPI Spiral Flute Tap Bottoming - HSSE - Steam Oxide - ISO 529
Available
The Sutton T461 is a spiral flute tap (R40 spiral, bottoming chamfer) for BSW threads, made from premium grade high speed steel (HSSE) with a blue steam-oxide finish. This listing covers 7 sizes from 1/4 x 20 TPI to 3/4 x 10 TPI.
The 40° right-hand spiral flute suits blind holes in long chipping materials: the high helix angle curls the chips and transports them back out of the hole. The tap cuts on reversal, so the flutes have rake on both front and back faces. The tap has a bottoming chamfer (Form E, 1.5 to 2 threads on the lead), for blind holes with very short thread run-out.
The thread tolerance is Z3 Medium. The tap is built to ISO 529: short machine tap construction.
