12 x 1mm MF Bottoming HSS Tap

About this item:

• 12 x 1mm MF Bottoming HSS Tap
• HSS Metric Fine Bottoming Hand and Machine Tap.
• 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).
• 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.
