Product Details
The High Speed Steel TMX Spiral Point Ground Flute Hand Tap is designed with a plug chamfer featuring a 3-5 thread length. This specific model, M2.0 x .40 D3, is a spiral point, plug chamfer ISO metric HSS TMX hand tap that is ground with right-hand operation and includes two flutes. The ISO metric taps with ANSI shanks are specifically engineered to eject chips forward, which is why they are often referred to as gun taps. This forward chip ejection is particularly recommended for through holes, as it minimizes double cutting of chips and results in a clean thread finish.
