Carmex Threading Tap - Spiral Point - UNC Supercut Tap - HSS-E - No. 5 x 40

The Carmex Spiral Point UNC Supercut Tap is a precision threading tool designed for professionals who demand clean, reliable UNC threads in challenging materials. Built for high-speed tapping, this tap delivers consistent results in through-holes with minimal clogging.

• Material: HSS-E with cobalt for exceptional hardness, heat resistance, and long tool life during demanding tapping tasks.
• Design: Spiral Point (also known as a piercing tap) that efficiently channels chips forward, reducing chip clog and promoting smooth entry.
• Thread Type: UNC (Unified National Coarse) threading for robust, rapidly produced coarse threads in a variety of metals.
• Size & Length: No. 5 x 40 — compact No. 5 size with 40 mm overall length for versatility in tight or recessed workpieces.
• Application Advantage: Optimized for through-holes, delivering consistent thread quality at higher feed rates and minimizing rework in tough materials.

With its cobalt-enhanced HSS-E composition, this tap sustains sharpness and cutting efficiency under heat, helping you achieve precise UNC threads with fewer passes. The spiral-point geometry accelerates chip evacuation, maintaining steady cutting action and reducing the risk of jamming, even in challenging alloys. Ideal for metalworking shops and professional machinists who value accuracy, reliability, and efficiency in everyday threading tasks.
