The Machine Tap shoots chips ahead of the cutting action, thus reducing loading and clogging in the flutes. They are recommended for use in through or blind holes which allow for chip accumulation in the bottom of the hole. Ideal for threading a wide variety of ductile materials, copper and copper alloys, brass and non-metallics. HSS, Spiral Pointed, Size: 544, Limit H2, Number of Flutes 2
