Unlike cutting taps, thread forming taps cold-form the thread by displacing material rather than cutting chips, producing stronger threads with a better surface finish. Built from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this plug chamfer tap is part of the BXP series. It measures 2 inches overall length with a shank diameter of 0.141 inches and a square drive size of 0.110 inches. The H8 thread limit designation specifies the tolerance class for the finished thread. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians use this tap in production and repair environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for through-hole threading in ductile materials such as aluminum, copper, brass, and mild steel where chip-free thread forming is preferred. The plug chamfer with 4 chamfered threads makes it appropriate for starting in a pre-drilled through hole. With a tapping depth of 0.6875 inches and a thread length of 0.45 inches, it fits standard 6-32 applications in light manufacturing, electrical enclosure assembly, and precision mechanical assembly work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThread forming design displaces material rather than cutting chips, producing stronger threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-32 UNC right-hand thread profile with H8 thread limit tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug chamfer with 4 chamfered threads for through-hole entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction for durability across ductile metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for use with standard tapping fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle oil groove aids lubricant distribution during forming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard production tap for through-hole 6-32 UNC threading operations in compatible machine tapping and hand tapping setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThread forming taps require a properly sized forming tap drill hole, which is larger than a standard cut tap drill size for the same thread  -  consult a thread forming tap drill chart before use. Apply a suitable tapping lubricant or cutting oil to the tap and workpiece before starting. Secure the workpiece firmly and ensure the tap is driven straight and true to avoid bell-mouthed or misaligned threads. This tap is intended for use by trained machinists or technicians familiar with thread forming processes.\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\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\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\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: 0.110 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: 11308-000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BALAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51971168796978,"sku":"11308-000","price":37.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e4f2350d034139b23013e0ca3a4a05bc.jpg?v=1789954055","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/balax-11308-000-thread-forming-tap-6-32-unc-plug-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
