52 x 5mm MC Intermediate HSS Tap - Goliath

About this item:

• 52 x 5mm MC Intermediate HSS Tap - Goliath
• HSS Bright Finish Metric Coarse Hand and Machine Intermediate Tap.
• HSS Straight Flute Short Machine and Hand Taps.
• These general purpose taps are ideal for creating new threads in a wide variety of materials.
• Goliath HSS taps provide a high hardness to toughness ratio, compressive and tensile strength, good abrasion resistance and resistance to micro-chipping, ensuring a long tool life.
• 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).
• 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.
• Manufactured from HSS this general purpose tap is designed for use in medium tensile materials and is for hand or general machine use.
