Drill America 3/4 NPT High Speed Steel Pipe Tap, T/A Series

Tap America's Drill America T/A series pipe taps are suitable for threading a wide variety of both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The nominal size of a pipe tap is the size of the pipe fitting to be tapped, not the actual size of the tap. The thread tapers 3/4 of an inch per foot, and all pipe taps are furnished with a 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 thread chamfer. NPT threads require the use of a sealant like Teflon tape or pipe compound.

High-speed steel tools are well-suited for most general-purpose applications, offering a combination of hardness and toughness for wear resistance. Uncoated tools feature just the base substrate without any additional treatment or coatings, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

The tools have a round shank with a square end, and a straight flute design that allows chips to collect in the flutes as they cut, making them well-suited for most applications in shallow cuts. The right-hand cut tools have a cutting action that engages when they are run in a clockwise direction.

Overall, Tap America's Drill America T/A series pipe taps and high-speed steel tools are versatile and reliable options for a wide range of threading and cutting applications, providing a balance of performance and durability.
