REGAL 013060AS25 7/8"-14 Size, H4 Thread Limit, Plug Chamfer, 3 Flute, TiN High Speed Steel, Right Hand Cut Spiral Pointed Tap

General Purpose Plug Taps from Regal. Here is Regal's Spiral Pointed Plug Taps to improve overall productivity. HSS series of spiral pointed plug taps from Regal is designed to deliver high-speed, high-performance deep hole tapping. The combination of two/three straight flute styles, and stainless steel tool material ensures superior performance at high speeds. The models are available in over 40 different styles of machine screw sizes #0 to #12 & fractional sizes 1/4 inch to 1 inch. While the thread area coated with TiN, the heat resistant coating improves tool life and can be used without coolant. The square shank of the tap is designed for superior grip during high-speed applications. Regal HSS plug taps have shallower flute passage in spiral point taps than conventional taps. Slow spirals helix angle ((0-degree) are used for non-ferrous materials. These taps are used to produce a thread close to the bottom of a blind hole. They are better on materials that form long continuous stringy swarf, rather than chips. They are also better to tap a thread in a hole where there is a break in the material. HSS series spiral point taps are designed to push the chips ahead of the cutting action, helping to reduce loading in the flutes. It offers faster chip evacuation, efficient thread quality, and higher tapping speeds. It makes it an ideal choice for cutting standard screw threads. Spiral point taps are known for their versatile applications. Outstanding results can be achieved on different workpiece materials ranging from Steel, Stainless Steel, Non-Ferrous, Cast Iron, Plastics using these HSS plug taps. Regal as a cutting tools manufacturer has been in the industry since 1955. The company now designs and produces over 9,500 products, ranging from taps, drills, end mills, dies, gages, and the high-performance triple Crown series of taps and end mills. The company's general-purpose design aims to offer superior cutting action and solid construction to increase productivity and optimum tool life when machining both common and exotic materials.
