The ZELX series features a spiral flute geometry engineered for through-hole tapping in stainless steel and other difficult-to-machine materials, with the \"SS\" designation confirming its optimization for stainless steel and the \"SP\" indicating a spiral point \/ plug chamfer designed to push chips forward and clear the flute. The GH5 ground thread tolerance class indicates a tightly controlled pitch diameter of +0.0005\" to +0.0010\" over basic, appropriate for 3B class-of-fit threaded holes requiring precision fits. The black oxide steam-temper finish provides corrosion resistance and mild lubricity, extending tool life in wet and dry cutting environments. Compatible with standard tap holders, floating tap adapters, and CNC tapping heads accepting a square-drive shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3
