• 6 x 1mm MC Intermediate Chrome Tap
• Chrome Alloy Metric Coarse Intermediate Hand Tap.
• Used as thread chasers to clean an existing thread.

• Chrome alloy taps are not suitable for creating precision, safety or critical threads.
• Metric Coarse angle of thread is 60 degrees.
• The crest is flat and the thread has clearance at the root allowing external thread and internal thread to engage well.
• Larger root radius and lower thread height enable easy screw thread processing and increase thread screw strength.

• Intermediate Taps have a lead of four threads and are used in most general purpose applications to cut a thread true to a pre-drilled pilot hole.
