The uxcell machine tap is a high speed steel pipe tap with four straight flutes, cut for a quarter inch NPS pipe thread. The listing gives only its size, material and weight.
Choose it when the job calls for a straight pipe thread tap of this size in high speed steel. The limitation is the sparse data: no tap length, shank size or thread class is given.
Who it's for
A machinist or maintenance worker who threads ports and fittings to a straight pipe thread. Pairing it with the right drill and cutting fluid is the user's job. A plumber working with tapered fittings should check the thread type first.

Performance notes
Straight flutes carry chips away from the cut, and high speed steel holds an edge under heat. Quality of the thread depends on the drilled hole, lubricant and a steady feed. The listing offers no recommended drill size.
