Burkit 11/16-16 UN Thread Tap - Right Hand HSS Machine Tap For Metalworking & DIY Projects

About This Product

Alright, let's talk about this Burkit thread tap—it's a real workhorse for anyone into metalworking, DIY projects, or even professional machining.

Made from 6542 high-speed steel (that's HSS, by the way), this 11/16-16 UN tap is built tough and designed to handle materials like copper, brass, aluminum, cast iron, and A3 steel.

The straight flute design means it clears chips fast, so you won't deal with clogging, and it's perfect for through holes or shallow blind holes (just a heads-up—it's not for deep blind holes).

You can use it with a tapping machine, bench drill, CNC, or even by hand if you're careful. Just remember: wear safety goggles and gloves, use cutting oil to keep things smooth, and adjust your speed based on the material hardness.

After you're done, a little anti-rust oil will keep it in great shape.

Whether you're a pro or a weekend warrior, this tap is a solid choice for clean, precise threads every time.
