Description

The Carmex Threading Tap, Spiral Flute, UNC Supercut is a high-precision tapping solution built for Unified National Coarse (UNC) threads. Designed for machinists and maintenance professionals, it delivers dependable cutting performance in demanding materials with durable powder-metal construction.

  • Size x Length: No. 5 x 40 — precise sizing for UNC coarse threads
  • Flute Design: Spiral flute for efficient chip clearance and smoother cutting
  • Material: Powder metal construction for enhanced wear resistance and durability
  • Thread Type: UNC (Unified National Coarse) threading standard
  • Tap Type: Supercut design optimized for high-speed, high-feed-rate tapping
  • Application: Suitable for challenging materials in production and repair environments

The spiral flute clears chips quickly, reducing the risk of clogging and heat buildup during fast threading. Powder-metal construction supports long tool life and consistent performance across multiple jobs, helping you maintain precise thread profiles even in tougher materials. Ideal for steel, cast iron, and other challenging alloys, this tap delivers reliable starts, clean threads, and repeatable results that keep your work progressing smoothly.
