- Standards
For blind hole applications
- Spiral flute geometry optimized to provide efficient chip ejection in blind holes
- Manufactured from high vanadium HSS-E to provide long and consistent tool life
- Geometry designed to allow tapping of a wide variety of ductile materials
- Ideal for customers who have a variety of materials to machine
- Semi-bottoming chamfer (2-2.5P) - this short chamfer enables threading close to the bottom of blind holes
- Due to the slightly longer chamfer and more working teeth, this chamfer is more efficient than a bottoming chamfer
- WP49EG grade - HSS-E substrate with black oxide surface treatment
