Made of hardened alloy steel. Point hardened to 50-55 HRC 12 mm (1/2") shank with a spring loaded centre and 85 mm is overall length. For execution, the center's body should be gripped in a drill chuck or collet, while the hardened point is inserted into the middle of the tapping handle. The stroke of the center will follow the tap, assuring straight and accurate hand tapped threads. One universal size for all tapping applications. Qnty @ 1 Pc
