Goliath BSF Spiral Flute HSS-Co5 Tap

• HSS-Co (Cobalt) Bright Finish BSF Spiral Flute Machine Tap.
• HSS-Co Spiral Flute Taps.
• Spiral Flute taps are designed primarily for machine tapping of blind holes.
• They are used to the best advantage in materials that produce long continuous chips.
• The right-hand spiral forces the swarf out of the hole and prevents the chips from clogging at the bottom of the hole or in the flutes, which could cause tap breakage or spoiled threads.
• British Standard Fine thread form was based upon the British Standard Whitworth (BSW) but has a finer thread (more threads per inch for a given diameter).
• The thread form was first introduced in 1908 and is specified in BS84:1956.
• When used on external threads this series has a greater tensile stress area than coarse threads of the same size.
• Fine series threads will resist stripping out better than coarse threads in areas where the external and mating internal threads are subjected to loads equal to or greater than the capacity of the screw or bolt.
• Fine threads are also used where the length of engagement is limited or where wall thickness demands a fine pitch.
• Manufactured from HSS-Co5.
