OSG 1635003055 EXOPRO® XPF 16350 Premium High Performance Thread Forming Tap, M3x0.5 Thread, D5 Thread Limit

Taps are used to cut screw threads on the inside surfaces of holes, creating the female half (nut) of the screw. High precision is of vital importance, particularly in areas such as automobile engines, which require precision screws. OSG offers a lineup of taps with diameters in various sizes and with specifications suitable for a wide variety of uses.

• Forming taps work by compressing the work material
• Fluteless forming tap produces no chips, making it up to 17X more durable than cut taps
• 40 to 50% less machining torque - longer life at faster speeds and the ability to use larger forming taps
• DIN overall length provides greater reach capability
