Carmex Threading Tap - Spiral Point - UNC Supercut Tap - HSS-E - 1/2 x 13

The Carmex Spiral Point UNC Supercut Tap is a precision threading tool built for machinists and fabricators who demand dependable UNC threads in challenging materials. Designed for high-speed tapping, it delivers clean, accurate results with every cut.

• Thread Type: UNC (Unified National Coarse) for robust, standard coarse-thread engagement
• Size x Pitch: 1/2 x 13 UNC, a common size for medium to heavy-duty fastening
• Design: Spiral Point that pushes chips forward and away from the cutting edge for smoother threading
• Material: HSS‑E (high-speed steel with cobalt) for enhanced hardness and heat resistance
• Coating/Geometry: Supercut geometry to improve cutting action and produce clean, consistent threads
• Chip Evacuation: Spiral point design channels chips efficiently to minimize clogging during high-speed tapping
• Application: Ideal for through-holes and demanding metalworking tasks where durable UNC threads are required
• Durability: Built to withstand heat and wear, supporting longer tool life in tough materials

This tap helps professionals achieve reliable thread formation in tougher metals, reduces the need for rework, and supports efficient production runs. With its robust HSS‑E composition and spiral point geometry, it’s well-suited for automotive components, industrial machinery, and general fabrication projects where UNC 1/2"-13 threads are standard. The Carmex UNC Supercut Tap blends precision with durability, making it a trusted choice for shops that prioritize consistent results and operational uptime.
