3/8 In. - 16 High-Carbon Steel Fractional Taper Tap

Taper Taps are ideal for cutting right-hand internal threads. They provide 8 to 10 threads chamfered for easy starts in tough materials. They are commonly used in through holes and with materials where a guide is necessary. Made from heat-treated carbon steel, they are rust- and tarnish-resistant tools that work equally well in plastic drilling applications. The rolled threads are more accurate and cleaner than machined threads. They are tooled to the most exacting specifications to ensure that bolts anchor securely. Laser-etched marking ensures size identification and won't wear off. They feature a precise flute design to ensure fast and easy chip clearance.
