It features a 6-32 thread size with a plug chamfer, making it suited for starting threads in through holes where chips can be pushed ahead of the cutting edge. Built from 3% vanadium high-speed steel and finished with an oxide coating, it provides good wear resistance and lubricity during tapping operations. The 2B class of fit produces threads within standard tolerance for general fastener applications. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians install this tap in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-tapping setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is used in ferrous and non-ferrous through-hole applications, with the material application specified as stainless steel. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward rather than packing them into the flute, making it well suited for production tapping in automated equipment. The right-hand thread direction and three-flute design are standard for 6-32 machine screw threads found in light-duty fastener assemblies, electrical enclosures, and precision machine components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry pushes chips forward, reducing chip packing in through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer provides gradual thread lead-in for controlled thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3% vanadium high-speed steel construction for improved wear resistance over standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide coating reduces friction and provides mild corrosion protection during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2B class of fit produces threads compatible with standard 6-32 machine screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, no coolant-through requirement — compatible with standard tapping fluids applied externally\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for cutting 6-32 right-hand internal threads in through-hole applications, with a specified material application of stainless steel.

Always ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole diameter matches the recommended tap drill size for 6-32 threads before beginning the tapping cycle. Apply appropriate cutting fluid to the tap and workpiece to reduce heat and extend tool life. Do not force a dull or damaged tap — back off periodically to break chips and prevent tap breakage.\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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.0 inches (50.80 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.58 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOversize\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: T1620242B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ACCUPRO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738499121458,"sku":"T1620242B","price":24.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/81f6d3568e32df65afe69c80cfdc44a7.jpg?v=1788800310","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/accupro-t1620242b-spiral-point-tap-6-32-3-flutes-plug-2b","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
