Designed to produce a 2B class of fit (UNC/UNF) or 6H class of fit (Metric)
Plug style
Bright finish (TiN & TiALN coatings available)
Thread forming (chipless taps) create threads through a cold forming process rather than cut the threads - threads produced are stronger than conventional cut threads
Ideal for aluminum and other non-ferrous materials as well as mild steel or other ductile materials
Not recommended for harder materials
This style of tap does require a larger tap drill size vs conventional cut taps and lubrication is highly recommended
