Description
About this item:
- 4.5 x 0.75mm MC Bottoming HSS Tap
- HSS Metric Coarse Bottoming Hand and Machine Tap.
- Metric Coarse angle of thread is 60 degrees.
- The crest is flat and the thread has clearance at the root allowing external thread and internal thread to engage well.
- Larger root radius and lower thread height enable easy screw thread processing and increase thread screw strength.
- The major diameter of external thread and pitch are specified by a simple numerical value (most commonly measured in millimetres).
- Bottoming Taps have a lead of two threads and are used to ensure minimum thread run-out when tapping to the bottom of a blind hole.
- Bottoming Taps are typically preceded by the use of a Taper or Intermediate Tap.
- Manufactured from HSS this general purpose tap is designed for use in medium tensile materials and is for hand or general machine use.
