It's a new Prototype (brand) "Paradur Eco Plus AEP2256302-UNC3/4" which means it's HSS-E (5% cobalt) PM (particle metal), THL (technical hard lube) coated 3/4-10UNC 2B spiral 4 flute semi-bottoming tap for steels, stainless steels, cast irons and non-ferrous metals. A very high-performance, long life tool that lists for a whopping $142.00US.

With an eBay "Buy It Now" price of $45 (with free shipping), I just couldn't resist.

I'm going to test it soon by drilling a Ø 21/32" x 1.25" deep hole in some 1018 steel and see if my Alliant milling machine has enough torque to power tap with it.

Damn!!, that looks spiffy! Now all you need is a job to use it on.

All I got today was (6) OSG #4-40, 2 flute spiral point taps and a 5" x 2" sine bar for $20, compared to you, I came up short.
