Sandvik HSS-PM Blue Spiral Flute PVD FeN coated Tap 5/8" UNC, DIN 2184-1 Long Body
$119.49
Sandvik 5/8-11 UNC Spiral Flute Tap – Premium Blind-Hole Tapping (DIN 2184-1)
Designed for robust CNC and manual machining performance. The spiral flute geometry with a 45° helix efficiently transports chips out of blind holes, ensuring smooth cutting action and preventing chip packing. Optimized for blind-hole tapping in steels, stainless steels, and cast irons (PMK).
Key Features & Benefits
- Durable Performance – HSS-PM substrate with advanced PVD FeN coating extends tool life and resists wear.
- Chip Control – 45° spiral flutes provide excellent chip evacuation in blind-hole applications.
- Production Efficiency – DIN 2184-1 standard shank and 4-flute design offer stability and cutting reliability.
- Precision Threading – Ground to UNC 2B tolerance for consistent, high-quality threads.
