3/8" - 16 NC (Fractional) Ground Thread Spiral Point (Gun Taps) - Hanson

The Hanson 333318 3/8" - 16 NC Ground Thread Spiral Point Tap is a professional-grade cutting tool engineered for precision threading in demanding automotive and industrial applications. Designed specifically for tapping "through" holes, this tap offers exceptional performance and durability for technicians and mechanics.

Key Features

• Precision Ground Threads: Manufactured to a stringent .0005" pitch tolerance, ensuring highly accurate and consistent thread formation.
• Spiral Point (Gun Tap) Design: Features a specialized flute design that cuts with a shearing action, driving chips forward and ahead of the tap. This prevents chip interference and clogging, resulting in cleaner, more uniform threads.
• Enhanced Efficiency: The forward chip ejection mechanism reduces cutting forces and minimizes wear, making it highly recommended for production use in machine tools.
• Optimized Performance: Produces superior thread quality with reduced effort, ideal for professional environments where reliability is crucial.
• H3 Pitch Diameter Limits: Designed with H3 pitch diameter limits, ensuring appropriate thread fit and adherence to industry standards.

Applications

This Hanson 3/8" - 16 NC Spiral Point Tap is an essential tool for creating new threads or re-threading existing 3/8"-16 NC through holes. It is commonly utilized in automotive repair for components like engine blocks, cylinder heads, and transmission cases, as well as in industrial settings for machinery maintenance, fixture building, and general fabrication. Suitable for a variety of materials, including alloy steels, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals.
