Unlike cutting taps, thread forming taps cold-form the thread profile by displacing material rather than cutting it, producing stronger threads with no chips to clear. This tap is sized for 6-32 UNC threads and carries a 2B class of fit with an H5 thread limit, making it suitable for standard tolerance assemblies. Built from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it measures 2 inches overall length and is part of the BALAX BXP series. It is installed by machinists, tool and die workers, and maintenance technicians working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for through-hole threading in production and maintenance environments where clean, chipless thread forming is preferred over conventional cutting. The plug chamfer with 4 chamfered threads allows for easy thread entry and is well suited to through-holes where full thread engagement can be achieved from the start. It is commonly used in light manufacturing, electronics assembly, and general mechanical fabrication where 6-32 UNC fastener threads are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread forming design produces chipless threads, eliminating chip evacuation concerns in through-hole applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-32 UNC thread size with 2B class of fit and H5 thread limit for standard tolerance work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer with 4 chamfered threads for straightforward thread entry in through-holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for use with standard tapping fluids and cutting oils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBXP series with 1 oil groove for lubrication during the forming process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use thread forming tap for through-hole applications requiring 6-32 UNC threads at a 2B class of fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThread forming taps require the correct tap drill size for the material and desired fit class  -  use the appropriate forming tap drill chart rather than a standard cut tap drill size. Secure the workpiece and use a calibrated tap wrench or machine tapper at controlled feed rates. Apply a suitable tapping fluid or cutting oil to extend tap life and improve thread quality. Always follow shop safety practices and consult applicable standards when tapping hardened or exotic alloys.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.45 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.141 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOil Grooves\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: BXP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BALAX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11305-000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BALAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972759224626,"sku":"11305-000","price":37.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bc97ebf14f2176c477ab49f1c21fea22.jpg?v=1789970473","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/balax-11305-000-thread-forming-tap-6-32-unc-plug-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
