The Hertel Straight Flute Tap is a precision threading tool designed for creating internal threads with exceptional accuracy. This particular model features a 1-5/16-12 UNS thread specification with 6 flutes and a bottoming chamfer design that allows threading to continue closer to the bottom of blind holes. Crafted from high-speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, this tap delivers reliable performance and durability for professional applications. The tap measures 4" in overall length with a 1-1/2" thread length, providing excellent reach for deeper threading operations. The straight flute design efficiently channels chips upward and out of the hole during the threading process, reducing the risk of clogging and ensuring clean, precise threads. This right-hand tap is manufactured by MSC Industrial under the trusted Hertel brand, making it an excellent choice for machinists and manufacturing professionals who demand quality threading tools.
