Applix 1679 HSS High Performance Spiral Flute Multi-Application Taps, TiCN Coated, Round with Square End, Coolant Through, Semi Bottom, 12mm Size, 1.75 M Pitch

Designed for blind hole tapping in a variety of materials with a hardness up to 36 Rc. The premium substrate and TiCN coating combine to offer superior abrasion resistance, higher operating speeds, improved thread quality, reduced cycle times, and longer tool life. Coolant thru design allows higher tapping speeds and eliminates the problems associated with inadequate coolant in horizontal or deep hole applications.

• High-speed steel tools are good for most general purpose applications, offering a combination of hardness and toughness for wear resistance
• Titanium carbonitride coatings are harder and more wear-resistant than TiN for improved tool life and faster cutting speeds
• Round shanks with square end allow use with a wide variety of toolholding systems
• Right-hand cut tools have a cutting action that engages when they are run in a clockwise direction
• Coolant Fed
