Product Features 25〜35HRC ●Ideal for forged products and tempered S48C to S55C materials from 25 to 35 HRC. ●Produced from HSS-Co materials with a special coating for enhanced wear resistance and to improve long tool life.

  • The original left hand spiral flute shape is used to produce a smooth chip discharge and increase performance in the medium tapping speed range. Also, the MHSL improves the internal threads surface finish.

Improved chip ejection!
