The Carmex Threading Tap, Spiral Flute, UNC Supercut Tap in 5/16 x 18 UNC is built for professionals who need fast, accurate threading in tough materials. This high-performance tool combines a cobalt-enriched HSS-E body with a spiral flute to deliver reliable UNC threading in demanding applications.

  • Size and Thread: 5/16" diameter, 18 threads per inch (UNC) for robust, coarse-threaded fasteners
  • Flute Design: Spiral flutes optimize chip evacuation and reduce clogging during deep or through holes
  • Material: HSS-E (high-speed steel with cobalt) for enhanced heat resistance and wear life
  • Cut Style: UNC Supercut geometry designed for clean starts, consistent thread quality, and longer edge life
  • Drive/Compatibility: Hex drive shank for secure engagement with standard tapping tools

With this tap, you gain faster, more reliable threads in challenging metals, less downtime from chip packing, and longer tool life thanks to robust cobalt-enhanced steel. The spiral flute maintains steady cutting action, minimizes burrs, and produces consistent, to-spec threads. It's ideal for job sites and workshops—from automotive repair and equipment maintenance to precision fabrication in metalworking shops—where dependable UNC threads matter.
