With a thread size of #6-32 UNC and Class 2B tolerance, it ensures accurate and reliable performance. The tap is constructed from high-speed steel, providing exceptional strength, hardness, and wear resistance for extended service life. Key specifications include a thread length of 20mm (0.8 inch), shank side width of 3mm (0.12 inch), and total length of 54mm (2.13 inches). Featuring 3 straight flutes, it facilitates efficient downward chip removal, resulting in clean threads without burrs. This unfinished tap is ideal for general-purpose tapping and is compatible with materials such as mild steel, aluminum, iron, copper, and stainless steel.
Usage
This thread tap is best suited for machining environments, including drilling machines, tapping machines, automatic machines, machining centers, and CNC or milling machines. It is not recommended for hand or electric drill tapping due to its design for controlled, high-speed operations. Recommended feed speeds are 6-15m/min for ordinary steel to ensure optimal performance and thread quality.
