Champion Heavy Duty 5/16-24 3-Flute Spiral Point Taps XL22-5/16-24

• Champion Cutting Tools
• Heavy Duty 3-Flute Spiral Point Taps
• Spiral point taps shear chips and direct them forward; away from the hole
• Spiral point taps have shallower flute passages; giving them more cross-sectional area for greater strength; higher tapping speeds; and less power necessary to drive them
• Also commonly referred to as gun taps
• XL22 Spiral point taps have three flutes for easy-starting; less tooth load; and greater strength
• Necked design for deeper tapping; which promotes the flow of cutting fluid
• Can be used in blind hole applications so long as there is sufficient room at the bottom of the hole to accommodate the chamfer length and the chips produced
• Special surface treatment cut tougher materials including stainless steel and protects cutting edge
• Made from premium high speed steel; which is heat treated for hardness and toughness
• Made in USA
• Available from 4-40 through 3/4-16
• Available in combination tap and drill sets
• XL22T is Titanium Nitride coated which promotes longer tool life and faster speeds
• Recommended for all through-hole applications. Used on low through high carbon steels; alloyed steels; steel drop forgings; grey cast iron; titanium; stainless steel; nimonic alloys; manganese; spring steels.
