The Hertel Spiral Point Tap is a precision threading tool designed for creating 7/16-20 UNF (Unified National Fine) threads with exceptional accuracy. Featuring 3 flutes for efficient chip evacuation and a plug chamfer for standard threading applications, this high-speed steel (HSS) tap delivers reliable performance in various materials. The bright/uncoated finish provides excellent visibility during operation while maintaining durability. With right-hand threading capability and an overall length of 3-5/32", this H3 tap offers the perfect balance of strength and precision for professional machinists and fabricators. The spiral point design (also known as a "gun tap") pushes chips forward, making it ideal for through-holes where chips can exit ahead of the tap. Manufactured by MSC Industrial under the trusted Hertel brand, this tap (Part #008498AS) is built to withstand demanding industrial applications while maintaining thread quality and dimensional accuracy.
