Description

Product Overview

uxcell HSS thread taps are precision tools crafted from high-speed steel, ensuring exceptional strength, hardness, and wear resistance for long-lasting performance. These uncoated taps feature a straight shank and three flutes designed for rapid chip removal, resulting in clean, burr-free threads. Available in multiple thread sizes including #2-56 UNC, #4-40 UNC, #6-32 UNC, and #10-24 UNC, each tap has a total length of 46mm and thread length of 12mm, making them versatile for various threading tasks. The straight point style and uncoated finish provide reliable cutting action on materials like copper, iron, metal, and plastic, supporting efficient operations in industrial settings.

Usage

These thread taps are ideal for professional and industrial environments, including machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and repair workshops. They excel in threading through holes or shallow holes in materials such as mild steel, aluminum, copper, stainless steel, and hard plastics. Target users include machinists, CNC operators, and DIY enthusiasts working on precision projects like clock and watch repairs. For optimal results, use with drilling machines, tapping machines, automatic machines, machining centers, or CNC mills, and apply appropriate tapping oil to enhance thread quality and tool life. Not recommended for hand or electric drill tapping due to the need for controlled feed speeds.
