Developed for use in blind holes, it features groove geometry and a helix angle optimised to improve chip evacuation and help prevent chips from accumulating in the hole during tapping. This supports cleaner thread formation and more reliable performance in workshop, maintenance, repair and assembly tasks. With a compact 56 mm overall length and 11 mm thread length, this machine tap is suited to controlled, precise threading where access and chip clearance are important. It is a practical choice for trade users working across general engineering and routine servicing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivers efficient blind hole threading for M3 x 0.5 coarse pitch applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves chip evacuation through optimised groove geometry and helix angle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides reliable cutting performance with HSS construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsures cleaner tapping by helping to reduce chip build-up in the hole.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces interruption during threading operations in workshop and maintenance tasks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports precise work with a compact 56 mm overall length and 11 mm thread length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers suitability for repair, assembly and general servicing applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e004280103\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange\/Series\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e428FC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMachine tap for blind holes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\/Capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eM3 x 0.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e56 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHSS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePieces\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eApplication\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlind hole tapping, coarse pitch threading\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDownloads \u0026amp; Media\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/files.beta-tools.com\/catalog\/EN\/PDF_EN\/428FC_en.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDatasheet (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Beta","offers":[{"title":"Blind Hole Machine Tap M3 X 0.5 Coarse Pitch - 428FC","offer_id":64841644015965,"sku":"WEB-004280103","price":20.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Machine Tap For Blind Holes M4 X 0.7 Coarse Pitch - 428FC - 428FC 4","offer_id":64841644048733,"sku":"WEB-004280104","price":20.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Machine Tap For Blind Holes M5 X 0.8 Coarse Pitch - 428FC - 428FC 5","offer_id":64841644081501,"sku":"WEB-004280105","price":20.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Machine Tap For Blind Holes M6 X 1 Coarse Pitch - 428FC - 428FC 6","offer_id":64841644114269,"sku":"WEB-004280106","price":21.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Machine Tap For Blind Holes M8 X 1.25 Coarse Pitch - 428FC - 428FC 8","offer_id":64841644147037,"sku":"WEB-004280108","price":23.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Machine Tap For Blind Holes M10 X 1.5 Coarse Pitch - 428FC - 428FC 10","offer_id":64841644179805,"sku":"WEB-004280110","price":27.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Machine Tap For Blind Holes M16X2 Coarse Pitch - 428FC - 428FC 16","offer_id":64841644212573,"sku":"WEB-004280116","price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/6348\/9885\/files\/428FC.jpg?v=1780069424","url":"https:\/\/tradecounterdirect.com\/products\/beta-hss-blind-hole-machine-tap-m3-x-0-5-coarse-pitch-428fc","provider":"Trade Counter Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
