Manufactured from High-Speed Steel-E-CO (cobalt-alloyed HSS) and finished with a TiCN coating, this tap delivers increased surface hardness and lubricity for extended tool life in demanding tapping operations. It produces 6-40 UNF right-hand threads to a 2BX class of fit with an H5\/H6 thread limit. The modified bottoming chamfer, with 2 to 3 chamfered threads, allows threading close to the bottom of blind holes. Overall length is 2 inches, thread length is 0.4724 inches, and tapping depth reaches 0.7480 inches. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die tradespeople are the primary users of this tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for blind-hole and through-hole threading in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. It carries material application codes P, M, K, and N, covering a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The Series 3944 design incorporates four oil grooves to support lubrication during the forming process. It is commonly used in precision machining, fixture fabrication, and production tapping where thread-forming rather than thread-cutting is specified to improve thread strength and surface finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-40 UNF thread form, right-hand, 2BX class of fit with H5\/H6 thread limit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-Speed Steel-E-CO (cobalt) substrate for elevated heat and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiCN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction during forming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eModified bottoming chamfer (2-3P) for threading close to blind-hole floors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour oil grooves support lubrication flow throughout the forming zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in blind-hole and through-hole applications requiring a 6-40 UNF internal thread in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metal workpieces.

Ensure the tap is properly aligned with the pre-drilled forming hole before engagement, as misalignment will damage the tap and distort the thread form. Always use a tapping chuck or torque-limiting holder to prevent tap breakage, particularly in blind-hole applications. Follow OSHA and shop-specific machine guarding requirements when operating drilling or milling equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-40 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2BX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: H5\/H6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Modified Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfered Threads\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-3P\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel-E-CO (Cobalt)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiCN\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: 0.4724 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7480 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1410 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1100 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOil Grooves\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute by Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3xD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, Non-Ferrous Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading, Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3944\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 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: GUHRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9039440035050\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GUHRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749532762418,"sku":"9039440035050","price":52.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7126f9f1fefdb5efc1bc385314bcb59b.jpg?v=1788907300","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/guhring-9039440035050-thread-forming-tap-6-40-unf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
