MORSE® Spiral Point Tap, High Performance, Series: 2097M, Measurement System: Metric, M5x0.8, Plug Chamfer, 3 Flutes, HSS-PM, Steam Oxide, Right Hand Cutting, 1/2 in Thread Length, 2-3/8 in Overall Length, Steel Alloy, Titanium Alloy, Nickel Base High Temperature Alloy, Stainless Steel up to 32Rc to 45Rc Hardness, Tool and Mold Steels Material Application

• Spiral point taps are designed for machine tapping in through holes in a wide variety of materials
• The point ejects the chips ahead of the tap, eliminating chip disposal problems and thread damage
• Shallower flutes also result in greater tap core strength allowing for higher cutting speeds
• Plug style (3 to 5 thread chamfer) is the most common chamfer used for tapping applications in through holes and blind holes with sufficient bottom clearance
• CNC reduced neck design enhances chip evacuation and cutting fluid flow to the cutting teeth for reduced friction, heat and galling
• Also reduces contact between the tap and the workpiece
• Premium powder metallurgy high speed steel premium steel engineered for hardness, wear resistance, tool, heat resistance, toughness and strength, performance under difficult cutting conditions, higher cutting speeds, increased productivity
• Steam oxide increases wear resistance, reduces friction, loading and galling, helps retain cutting fluids, improves thread quality and extends tool life
