UNC (Unified coarse) left hand

Machine taps for UNC left-hand thread

The left-hand version of the Unified coarse thread, for parts whose direction of rotation would loosen a right-hand thread. Machine taps cut the thread in a single pass and run in a drilling machine, a machining centre or a tapping attachment.

VÖLKEL offers 26 versions to DIN 371 and DIN 376, in HSSE, from UNC No. 6 x 32 to UNC 1" x 8. Lead forms B and C cover through holes and blind holes.
