Built from cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a MolyGlide coating, it delivers improved wear resistance and reduced friction during cutting. The tap features a plug chamfer, 3 flutes, a 6H thread limit class, and a D2\/D3 thread limit designation. It produces M3 x 0.5 metric threads and measures 1.941 inches overall in length with a shank diameter of 0.141 inches. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals specify this tap for production environments where thread quality and tool life are critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for through-hole threading operations on CNC machining centers, drill presses, and tapping machines. The spiral point geometry pushes chips forward ahead of the cutting edge, making it well suited for through-hole applications rather than blind holes. Compatible materials include aluminum, gray cast iron, malleable iron, non-ferrous metals, spheroidal iron, stainless steel, and steel. It is a right-hand tap used with right-hand threading toolpaths and standard tapping attachments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM3 x 0.5 metric thread form with 6H class of fit and D2\/D3 thread limit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt HSS construction for elevated heat and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMolyGlide finish reduces friction and improves chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpiral point geometry designed specifically for through-hole threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-flute design balances cutting efficiency with thread quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo coolant-through requirement — compatible with external coolant or cutting fluid application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for through-hole threading in aluminum, gray cast iron, malleable iron, non-ferrous metals, spheroidal iron, stainless steel, and steel.

Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the tap is aligned perpendicular to the hole before engagement. Apply a suitable cutting fluid or tapping oil for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain thread quality. Do not use this tap in blind holes, as the spiral point geometry is designed to push chips forward through the workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M3 x 0.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Pitch\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.50 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass of Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Limit\u003c\/strong\u003e: D2\/D3\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: Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Through-Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: MolyGlide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.941 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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3966\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 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: 9039660030000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GUHRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737331466546,"sku":"9039660030000","price":39.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/867c2803afee517f075387bda690a321_573d787e-ce62-4d03-bd67-a344f6689d08.jpg?v=1788787200","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/guhring-9039660030000-spiral-point-tap-m3-x-0-5","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
