Guhring 9039060140000 Spiral Point Tap M14x2 Metric

Product Description

The GUHRING 9039060140000 is a spiral point tap designed for through-hole threading in metric applications. Built from High-Speed Steel-E-PM (HSS-E-PM) with a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating, this tap handles demanding materials including stainless steel. The M14x2 thread size, 4-flute geometry, and plug chamfer combine to produce clean, accurate threads at a 6H class of fit. The spiral point design pushes chips forward ahead of the cut, making it well suited for through-hole work where chip evacuation matters. Overall length is 3.591 inches with a thread length of 1.6535 inches.

This tap is intended for through-hole threading operations in metalworking environments where tight tolerances and a 6H class of fit are required. The M14x2 metric pitch makes it a standard choice for machine component assembly, structural fastener preparation, and general industrial fabrication. Right-hand thread direction is standard. The TiN coating extends tool life in abrasive and work-hardening materials such as stainless steel. It is typically run in CNC machining centers, drill presses, or tapping heads by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

Key Features

• M14x2 metric thread size with 6H class of fit for precise tolerance control
• Spiral point geometry pushes chips forward, optimized for through-hole threading
• HSS-E-PM substrate provides toughness and wear resistance in difficult materials
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life, especially in stainless steel
• 4-flute configuration for balanced cutting load and thread finish quality
• Plug chamfer for general-purpose starting in through-hole applications

Compatibility

Designed for through-hole threading in stainless steel and comparable materials. Thread limit D5/D6, right-hand thread direction, Series 3906. Compatible with standard tapping chucks and holders accepting a 0.4290-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with tapping speeds and feeds for the workpiece material. Ensure the workpiece is properly secured and the tap is aligned perpendicular to the hole before engagement. Use appropriate cutting fluid or tapping compound for stainless steel to reduce heat buildup and galling. Do not reverse the tap under power without confirming the machine or holder is set for reversing cycle.
