The Carmex Threading Tap with Spiral Point for UNC is a precision tool designed for machinists and fabrication professionals who need fast, clean Unified National Coarse threads. Built for demanding materials and high-speed tapping, it delivers reliable performance from the first cut.

  • Size & Thread: 5/16" diameter, 18 TPI UNC (Unified National Coarse) for standard coarse-thread applications.
  • Material: HSS-E (high-speed steel with cobalt) for exceptional hardness and heat resistance during repetitive tapping.
  • Design: Spiral Point (Supercut) geometry that channels chips forward, promoting efficient cutting and reducing the risk of clogging in through-holes.
  • Durability: Engineered for repeated use in challenging materials with consistent thread quality and extended tool life.
  • Application: Ideal for through-hole threading in high-speed production environments where fast, accurate UNC threads are essential.

This tap helps you achieve precise, repeatable thread integrity, minimizing rework and improving overall part quality. The spiral point design enhances chip evacuation, enabling smoother cuts and reduced downtime, while the HSS-E composition maintains sharpness and performance under demanding tapping conditions. A reliable choice for machining, fabrication, and maintenance tasks that require robust UNC threading.
