YG-1 R7 Series Vanadium Alloy HSS Straight Flute Taper Pipe Tap, Uncoated (Bright) Finish, Round Shank with Square End, Taper Chamfer, 1/2"-14 Thread Size

YG-1 R7 series vanadium alloy HSS striaght flute taper pipe tap. High-speed steel tools are good for most general purpose applications, offering a combination of hardness and toughness for wear resistance. Uncoated tools feature just the base substrate without any additional treatment or coatings and are suitable for a wide range of applications. Round shanks allow use with a wide variety of toolholding systems. Straight flute tools allow chips to collect in the flutes as they cut and are well suited for most applications in shallow cuts. Right-hand cut tools have a cutting action that engages when they are run in a clockwise direction. Applications: Good for steel castings and forgings/heat-treatable alloy steels. Excellent for low carbon/free machining carbon steel, medium to high carbon steel, grey cast iron, nodular cast iron/chilled cast iron/meehanite iron/ductile iron.
