Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, this tap delivers extended tool life when cutting harder workpiece materials or running at elevated speeds. It carries a 2B class of fit and an H3 thread limit, making it suitable for standard tolerance threaded holes. With 4 flutes and a bottoming chamfer, it cuts close to the bottom of blind holes where a plug or taper tap cannot reach. Overall length is 2.375 inches with a thread length of 0.64 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is intended for use in machine tapping operations on materials including aluminum, cast iron, magnesium, and zinc. The bottoming chamfer configuration makes it the final-stage tap in a sequence when full thread depth is required to the bottom of a blind hole. It is part of the BALAX BX600 series and is well suited for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and tapping heads operating in light-to-medium duty threading cycles. Coolant-through is not supported on this tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt HSS construction resists heat and wear during high-speed or interrupted-cut tapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life on abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer allows full thread depth in blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3 thread limit and 2B class of fit for standard tolerance threaded fastener applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 straight flutes suitable for short-chip materials such as cast iron, aluminum, and zinc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction; compatible with standard tapping heads and machine spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for machine tapping of 10-32 UNF threads in aluminum, cast iron, magnesium, and zinc workpieces.

Always ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Use the recommended drill size prior to tapping to achieve proper thread engagement and prevent tap breakage. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve thread finish quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\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: H3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreads per Inch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42 HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium Nitride (TiN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.194 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.152 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e75 Percent Thread Drill Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1600 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum, Cast Iron, Magnesium, Zinc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: BX600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 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: 54033-01T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BALAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52071873347890,"sku":"54033-01T","price":52.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ad440fac898b061395ca34ad688d0adf.jpg?v=1790049389","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/balax-54033-01t-straight-flute-bottoming-tap-10-32-unf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
