Dolphin UNF Type M-35 HSS Taps (Set of 3)

The Dolphin UNF Type M-35 HSS Taps (Set of 3) are precision-engineered taps designed for cutting internal threads according to the Unified National Fine (UNF) thread standard. Crafted from M-35 high-speed steel (HSS), these taps offer exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and durability, making them ideal for threading operations in tough materials such as stainless steel, alloy steels, and other high-strength alloys.

Key features and characteristics of the Dolphin UNF Type M-35 HSS Taps include:

1. Unified National Fine (UNF) Threads: The taps are specifically designed to cut threads conforming to the UNF standard, which is widely used in precision threading applications.

2. M-35 High-Speed Steel Construction: The use of M-35 HSS provides superior hardness and wear resistance, allowing the taps to maintain sharp cutting edges and withstand the demands of threading operations in tough materials.

3. Three-Tap Set: The set typically includes three taps: a taper tap (also known as a "first" tap), an intermediate tap, and a bottoming tap. This three-tap approach allows for progressive cutting of threads, starting with the taper tap and advancing to the bottoming tap to reach full thread depth.

4. Precision Thread Design: The taps feature precise thread profiles that conform to UNF standards, ensuring compatibility with UNF nuts, bolts, and fittings.

5. Efficient Chip Evacuation: The taps are designed with optimized flute geometry to facilitate chip removal during threading, minimizing the risk of chip buildup and ensuring smooth cutting of threads.

6. Versatility: The Dolphin UNF Type M-35 HSS Taps are suitable for use in manual or machine threading operations, providing versatility for various applications in manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and other industries requiring UNF threads.

7. Usage Recommendations: It is recommended to use cutting fluids or lubricants during tapping to optimize performance, reduce friction, and extend the lifespan of the taps. Proper lubrication helps maintain thread quality and prevents overheating during threading operations.

In summary, the Dolphin UNF Type M-35 HSS Taps (Set of 3) are premium-quality taps designed for professionals working with UNF threads in tough materials. Their M-35 HSS construction, precision design, and efficient chip evacuation make them essential tools for achieving accurate and durable threads in a wide range of applications requiring Unified National Fine threads.
