About this item:
- 8 x 1mm MF Intermediate Chrome Tap
- Chrome Alloy Metric Fine Intermediate Hand Tap.
- Used as thread chasers to clean an existing thread.

- Chrome alloy taps are not suitable for creating precision, safety or critical threads.
- Metric Fine 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).
- Intermediate Taps have a lead of four threads and are used in most general purpose applications to cut a thread true to a pre-drilled pilot hole.
