The uxcell 5-piece #4-40 UNC machine tap set offers efficient threading for various materials including mild steels, aluminum, iron, copper, stainless steel, and hard plastic. Made from high-speed steel (HSS) with a 2B thread class, these taps feature straight 3 flutes designed for rapid chip removal and clean thread formation. They are specifically recommended for use with drilling machines, tapping machines, automatic machines, machining centers, CNC, and milling machines, ensuring precise results. For optimal performance and longevity, it is advised to use appropriate cutting fluid or keep the taps wet during operation.
Each tap measures 51mm in total length with a 17mm thread length and a 2.4mm shank side width. The high-speed steel construction provides excellent wear resistance, fast cutting speed, and high strength, contributing to a long service life. While suitable for general-purpose tapping, these micro taps are particularly useful in applications like clock and watch manufacturing for machining holes in wood and soft metals. The uncoated base substrate allows for general-purpose use, and adding tapping oil can further enhance thread quality and tap durability.
Imported for precision engineering needs, this set provides excellent value for workshops and manufacturing units requiring reliable threading tools. The clear chip removal design minimizes burrs, ensuring clean threads. Recommended feed speeds vary by material, from 2-7m/min for stainless steel to 6-15m/min for ordinary steel, optimizing efficiency for different applications. All customs duties and GST are included in the price, with delivery via ExpressBox tracked shipping.
