Fractional Size Long Shank Spiral Point (/UNC/UNF/BSW/BSF)

Features of Fractional Size Long Shank Spiral Point Taps (UNC / UNF / BSW / BSF)

1. Long Shank Design – Extended shank allows for tapping in deep or hard-to-reach areas with precision.

2. Spiral Point Geometry – Pushes chips forward, enabling efficient and fast threading, ideal for through-hole applications.

3. High-Speed Steel (HSS) – Made from premium HSS for durability, heat resistance, and long tool life.

4. Fractional (Inch) Sizes – Available in imperial measurements, suitable for Unified (UNC/UNF) and Whitworth (BSW/BSF) thread systems.

5. Precision Ground Threads – Provides clean, accurate thread forms with tight tolerances.

6. Industrial Grade Build – Built for heavy-duty performance in industrial, maintenance, and fabrication settings.

7. BS-949 Compliant – Manufactured to British Standard BS-949 for consistency and quality assurance.

8. Suitable for Various Metals – Performs efficiently on steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and cast iron.

9. Reduced Cutting Torque – Spiral point design reduces torque and enhances cutting speed, improving productivity.

10. Manual & Machine Use – Compatible with both manual tapping tools and CNC/machine setups.

Applications For uses : 

1. Through-Hole Threading – Ideal for tapping threads through full material thickness, with chip evacuation away from the cutting edge.

2. Deep Threading Operations – Designed for use in deep or recessed areas where extended reach is required.

3. Metal Fabrication Workshops – Used for threading steel, aluminum, brass, and cast iron components in fabrication and assembly.

4. Automotive and Aerospace Maintenance – Perfect for precision tapping in hard-to-reach threaded areas in engines, frames, or assemblies.

5. General Engineering & Machine Shops – Essential for machinists and toolmakers handling inch-based threading jobs.

6. MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Operations) – Widely used in repairing or restoring worn threads in industrial and mechanical setups.

7. Pipe & Fitting Manufacturing – Suitable for creating threaded holes in valves, fittings, and connectors requiring imperial threads.

8. Construction Equipment Servicing – Used for tapping in heavy-duty construction and structural components.

9. Precision Tool and Die Making – Helps in creating accurate threaded features in tools, molds, and dies.

10. Educational and Vocational Training – Ideal for teaching inch-thread tap use in technical and vocational institutes.
