OSG EXOTAP VA-3 is a premium spiral flute tap designed for tapping stainless steels. It features a High Speed Steel (HSS-E) substrate with a V-Coating for increased hardness, lubricity, and wear resistance. The spiral flute design is ideal for blind hole applications, providing stable chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces. The Steam Oxide surface treatment (S/O) further enhances mechanical lubricity. This tap has a 1/2"-13 UNC thread size, a 45-degree helix angle, and a modified bottoming chamfer (2.5P-3P). It is suitable for tapping various steels, including medium carbon steel (1035, 1045), low carbon steel (1010, 1018), high carbon steel (1065), and stainless steels (300, 400, 17-4PH).
