Built from 3% vanadium high-speed steel with an oxide coating, it delivers increased wear resistance and improved lubrication retention during tapping operations. The tap cuts a 6-32 unified coarse thread with a right-hand thread direction and a 40-degree helix angle that pulls chips up and out of the hole. Overall length is 2 inches with a thread length of 8 millimeters. Machinists and maintenance technicians install this tap by hand or in CNC and manual tapping equipment for small-fastener thread applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for production and job-shop environments where 6-32 machine screw threads are required in steel, aluminum, and similar machinable materials. The modified bottoming chamfer allows threading closer to the bottom of a blind hole than a standard plug chamfer while still providing enough lead to start the tap squarely. It is commonly used in light-duty mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, and panel fabrication where 6-32 fasteners are standard. The 3-flute spiral design keeps the tap stable in small-diameter holes and reduces the torque required compared to straight-flute designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-32 unified coarse thread, right-hand, 2B class of fit for standard tolerance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3% vanadium high-speed steel construction for extended tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide coating improves lubrication retention and reduces galling during tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry evacuates chips upward, reducing clogging in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer threads closer to hole bottom than plug chamfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFast flute style reduces cutting torque in small-diameter thread applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or stock tap for any manual or CNC tapping setup requiring a 6-32, 2B class of fit, modified bottoming spiral flute tap with a 3.58 millimeter shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is installed by machinists and tool-and-die or maintenance technicians using a tap wrench, tapping head, or CNC rigid-tapping cycle. Always use a cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tap life. Ensure the pilot hole is drilled to the correct tap drill size for 6-32 threads before tapping. Avoid reversing the tap under power without a torque-limiting holder, as small-diameter taps are susceptible to breakage under overload conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Modified Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8 millimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches (50.80 millimeters)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.58 millimeters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vanadium High-Speed Steel (3% Vanadium)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACCUPRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: T1604242B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51744850903346,"sku":"T1604242B","price":29.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a44d6ae9e5f8c771835b6eb787dc2ae1.jpg?v=1788861542","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-t1604242b-spiral-flute-tap-6-32-3-flutes-modified-bottoming","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
