3/8-16 H5 SPIRAL POINT BLACK SHARK TAP

FOR HIGH STRENGTH STEELS

Designed for high performance through hole tapping in high strength and heat resistant work materials with hardness up to 45HRC.

MATERIAL: Shark taps are manufactured from a unique powder metallurgy tool steel different from any other HSS-E-PM. This provides an unbeatable combination of toughness and edge strength, allowing the taps to perform at higher cutting temperatures while offering excellent performance and longer tool life.

• Higher impact toughness.
• Increased hot hardness
• Consistent hardness.

GEOMETRY AND CHAMFER: Spiral point geometries with low rake angle for good chip control and edge strength. Features a spiral point that supports:

• Process security.
• Superior surface finish.
• Highly accurate threads
• Through hole threading up to 2.5xD.

SURFACE TREATMENT:
TiAlN-Top coating combined with geometry that significantly increases cutting edge strength, provides excellent performance and consistency in hard and difficult to machine materials.

FEATURES:

• The color ring on the tool shank identifies suitability for specific materials and enables quick and easy tool selection.
• When using Black Shark taps, it is recommended to use synchronized (rigid) tapping.
