Thread Size and Pitch
The Greenfield Threading 357819 Spiral Point Tap cuts 1/2-13 UNC threads in a right-hand direction. It suits maintenance and production teams that need through-hole tapping in steel or aluminium.
Hole Diameter and Thread Limit
Verify the drilled hole matches the 75 percent thread drill size of 0.4219 in before starting. The H2 thread limit and 2B class of fit determine the final tolerance, so confirm the drawing calls for that allowance.
Flute Count and Coating
Three straight flutes push chips ahead of the tap to reduce binding in through holes. The bright uncoated high-speed steel surface works with standard cutting fluids and avoids coating wear in abrasive materials.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the Greenfield Threading 357819 tap and do I need to buy a drill bit separately?
The box contains the spiral point tap only; a 0.4219 inch drill bit for the 75 percent thread is not included and must be purchased separately.
Should I choose this H2 limit tap or a different thread limit for a standard 1/2-13 UNC hole?
The H2 limit matches a class 2B fit, which is the standard choice for general-purpose 1/2-13 UNC threading.
What does the 3 3/8 inch overall length mean when the tap is in my drill press or tapping head?
The 3 3/8 inch overall length gives enough reach for through-holes up to about 1 21/32 inch deep while keeping the shank securely clamped.
