Your cart is empty.YG-1 F4 series vanadium alloy HSS spiral flute tap for multi-purpose. High-speed steel tools are good for most general purpose applications, offering a combination of hardness and toughness for wear resistance. Black oxide treatment adds lubricity and creates small pockets on the surface of the tool that act to hold coolant near the cutting edge. Round shanks allow use with a wide variety of toolholding systems. When run in a counterclockwise direction (right-hand cut) spiral fluted tools evacuate chips up and out of the cut to reduce clogging. 0.375-inches thread length. Applications: Good for steel castings and forgings/heat-treatable alloy steels, free machining stainless steel, heat and corrosion-resistant stainless steel/valve stainless steel, aluminum alloy castings. Excellent for low carbon/free machining carbon steel, medium to high carbon steel.

I ordered a bunch of spiral flute taps from YG1, Fulfilled through Amazon, 6-32 through 1/2-13 i have received all but the 6-32, it says delivered but it wasn't in the package. This is no fault of the product and all the other taps have been awesome, I'll continue to buy yg1 products! I'll reorder!

Whike their chip extraction design would work on larger diameter taps, it failed on this tap because they didn't use the proper steel to compensate for their decreased minimum diameter as compared to normal taps. Hence, the bit is too weak and is only good for soft metals. When we first opened the box and looked at it all bets were that it would break. And with the slightest pressure sure enough it snapped.

This is a great spiral flute tap. Ive used it in my mini lathe for Aluminum and some mild steel.Remember to use plenty of lube and go slow.

Cuts so much better than the straight flute type. After breaking two 6-32 straight types, finished up all the holes without incident with this one.
