Built from high speed steel with a TICN (titanium carbonitride) coating, it delivers extended tool life in hardened steel applications where conventional taps wear quickly. The tap features 3 right-hand flutes with a 15-degree slow helix angle, a 2BX class of fit, and H3\/H4 thread limits. Overall length is 1.772 inches. Licensed machinists and toolroom operators working on precision assemblies, instrumentation, or small-fastener blind-hole work are the primary users of this tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tap is suited for blind hole threading in hardened steel at the 2-56 UNC thread size. The bottoming chamfer allows the thread form to be cut close to the bottom of the hole, making it the correct choice when thread engagement depth is critical and through-hole access is not available. It fits standard tap holders and is used in both manual and CNC tapping operations across precision machining, electronics, and instrumentation manufacturing environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottoming chamfer for threading close to the bottom of blind holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTICN coating improves wear resistance in hardened steel applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 right-hand spiral flutes with 15-degree slow helix angle for controlled chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH3\/H4 thread limits with 2BX class of fit for consistent thread quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for toughness in demanding materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShank diameter of 0.141 inches fits standard tap holder collets for this size range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for blind hole threading in hardened steel using the 2-56 UNC thread standard.

Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the pilot hole diameter and depth are correct for a 2-56 UNC bottoming tap before starting. Use a cutting fluid or tapping compound compatible with hardened steel to protect both the tap and the workpiece. Never back-drive a bottoming tap with excessive force, as the limited chamfer length makes the tool susceptible to breakage if the hole bottom is contacted under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-56\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChamfer Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bottoming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slow Spiral\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: H3\/H4\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: TICN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.772 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\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.141 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.631 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTapping Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.631 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\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Blind Hole Threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardened Steel\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: 4373\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: GUHRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9043730021840\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GUHRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730798313778,"sku":"9043730021840","price":63.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/66dde40f69adac045144433d917a1aa7_d892063c-a43b-4e4f-b40e-6fdb2a2e4566.jpg?v=1788723036","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/guhring-9043730021840-spiral-flute-tap-2-56-unc-bottoming","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
